Conference Content Confirmed
The content of the conference sessions for the first ever PPF Conference, Heart and Soul – Sport in the UK Today, has now been finalised.
The event is designed to showcase the key issues affecting the tens of thousands of professional sports people that make up the industry and to bring together all those interested parties to discuss, debate and understand more about these issues.
The highly relevant and extremely current topics from the world of sport today that will be discussed and debated are:
Betting in Sport: Facing up to its impact on professionals and how to positively support this issue across all sports.
Performance v Recreational Drugs: Should those that use recreational drugs be treated in the same way as those that have used performance enhancing drugs?
Who Should Run Sport: Few would argue that anyone knows their sport better than the players, so why do so few players ever go on to lead the development and administration of their sport?
The Chief Executives Panel: The panel brings together the Chief Executives 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.
The conference is a great opportunity to understand the views and issues affecting the people that drive the success of sport – the players.
If you are involved in the world of professional sport, athlete management or work in the wider sports industry make sure you attend the first ever Professional Players Federation conference.
