WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

We are now in what some have called the “Golden Decade” for British Sport. In addition to the 2012 Olympics, Britain will host the 2013 Rugby League World Cup, the 2013 Commonwealth Games, the 2015 Rugby World Cup, and the 2017 World Athletics Championships. Sport and the business of sport will take an ever more prominent place in national affairs and this conference will consider all the key legal issues which affect sport and which will form such an important part of the planning and implementation of the "Golden Decade".
