Monday, June 15 kicks off with a targeted focus on some of the most topical areas crucial to addressing the pandemic - STEM education and mental health. Led by members of our Sport and STEM and Stay in the Game coalitions, attendees will further ongoing initiatives that are leveraging sport to play a role in creating solutions for both, with additional expert contributors from Olympic and professional athletes, governing bodies, teams, foundations and subject matter specialists.
That evening, Beyond Soccer, will take a look at gender equality and inclusion in the sport and industry – on and off the field. Attendees will have the chance to get in on the ground floor of the new inclusive, interactive and impactful Women in Soccer network which will champion women personally and professionally, leverage collective efforts to increase gender equity in the soccer industry, celebrate the women’s game and support organizations that use soccer for social impact.
With a belief that adversity can be an opportunity to find new ways to innovate and move forward, from Tuesday through Thursday, attendees will have unlimited access to a dynamic online learning experience to grow, redefine impact and create solutions to current and future challenges together. And with more than 70 sport teams registered to attend, we’re putting together a special convening for teams and leagues to explore the future of community engagement.
We have assembled purpose-driven experts across sport, business, development, leadership, performance, advocacy, partnerships and community engagement who will engage with workshop attendees to address change head on and share best practice, underscored by the overarching goal of inspiring positive impact on the world.
With schedules more complex right now, we have structured the week to be affordable and accommodate various schedules. Feel free to drop in and out of sessions that best fit your needs and interests. Click on our tracks below to learn more about the sessions taking place June 15 -18.
