Cracking Conference line-up confirmed – places still available!

The British Rowing Conference is all set with a line-up of influential speakers from within and outside our sport, all adding their voice and ideas to shape the future of rowing

‘Pulling Together: One Team with a Shared Purpose’ kicks off on Saturday 3rd October for two days and provides a platform for influential and experienced voices to share ideas to take rowing forward.

Places are still available to attend so book here now.

The conference is looking to inspire our sport with the 2015-2024 Strategic Plan to align the drivers for success within our sport. Key speakers, such as Mark Hunter, Olympic Gold Medallist will talk about how success can drive inspiration for growth and further achievements for the future at your club. Guin Batten, Olympic Silver Medallist will discuss the important and innovative revision of our racing format.

Beyond our own rowing community, we have also attracted game changers to share their expertise in supporting rowing’s future and development. Humphrey Cobbold, CEO of PureGym is one of those speakers, formerly the CEO of Wiggle and now leading the country’s fastest growing and largest gym chain in the UK, and will share ideas on how clubs can optimise their potential.

For a taster of other key areas of the conference:
