The Diversity Forum

The Leaders Meet: Diversity Forum is our flagship event in the Series, with our ongoing initiative to address the most pressing issues in equality, diversity, and inclusion across sports, business, and culture. It brings together thought leaders from inside and outside the sports industry to share insights, foster collaboration, and drive tangible change.

This year we’ll be exploring the theme of ‘Cultural Transformation‘—how we can create lasting inclusion and equity across both culture and business. Creating a space for diverse voices and perspectives to come together, enable transformation not just in sport but across broader industries.

Entertainment, participation, and education. Expect a half-day of content with interactive workshops and networking opportunities.
