The PPF National Conference will provide delegates with an in depth understanding of the challenges facing today’s professional sportspeople.
It will provide a platform to debate and discuss the many positive opportunities players and athletes provide for sports, media, brands, sponsors, government agencies and the charity sector.
The content will focus on the following key subject areas:
- Maximising the commercial angle of sport versus the good of the game: How do clubs and officials balance their desire for commercial success with the long term health of their sport in general?
- Privacy and social media: Sex, lies and Twitter scandal, and its impact on the modern athlete. Has this ever been more relevant and topical than today?
- Betting in sport: Facing up to its impact on professionals and how to positively support this issue across all sports.
- The chairman's panel: The panel brings together the chairmen of a number of the PPF's Associate Members for the first time to debate the key issues affecting professional athletes across a range of sports.
