Speakers at the event represented an impressive cross-section of global sport and charity organisations. Delegates heard from leaders including Ollie Dudfield (Associate Director Olympism 365, International Olympic Committee - pictured below), Katherine Sellar (People’s Postcode Lottery), Fred Fikouhi-Turner (Executive Director, Beyond Sport), Zenna Hopson (CEO, Dallaglio RugbyWorks) and Nav Sira (CEO, The Change Foundation) among many others.
