Lord Sebastian Coe, President of the IAAF was the mastermind behind London\u2019s successful bid and then the delivery of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, as chairman of the local organising committee. Having been in his role at the IAAF since 2015, Lord Coe will bring a wealth of expertise to the 350 person audience in January.<\/p>\n

Also taking to the stage is Aarti Dabas, Head of Media Rights, International Cricket Council. Dabas led the creation of the ICC\u2019s first fan engagement strategy, focused on understanding, growing and monetising the global cricket fan base. With her role expanding to include identification and development of brand partnerships, Dabas will explore the use of technology and digital for storytelling and connecting with fans. Keith Pelley, Chief Executive Officer of the PGA European Tour has headed up the Tour since 2015 and in that time has pioneered a series of new initiatives including the launch of new formats such as GolfSixes, and shored up longstanding broadcast relationships with the likes of Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
