Steve Cram MBE (confirmed)
Former Chairman, English Institute of Sport
“Aspiring to be an elite athlete”
Getting to a professional level of sport often requires unique talent and skills, as well as years of dedication and commitment. It also requires strong coaching, sports facilities and a high level of competition to ensure young people reach their potential. What can we learn from other countries and other sports that will successfully inspire, motivate and develop the elite athletes and sportsmen and women of the future?

Gerry Sutcliffe MP (confirmed)
Former UK Minister for Sport; Member of the Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee
“An opportunity not to be missed – making the legacy rhetoric a reality”
The 2012 Games were held to inspire a generation and leave a lasting legacy of sport and physical activity in the UK. But how does the reality compare with the rhetoric? Obesity and related conditions continue to rise, Sports England figures show there are now fewer adults playing sport regularly than before the Games, and school sports provision remains inconsistent and under-funded. How do we ensure that sport and physical activity become a habit for life, and what needs to be done to ensure a viable legacy is successfully delivered?

John Driscoll MA FRSA (confirmed)
Executive Director, sports coach UK
“Encouraging sport – the role of coaching at grassroots level”
More than a million people are involved in sports coaching across the UK. How can we ensure that this valuable workforce is not only aligned to Government strategy on sport, but understands their role in wider agendas, including education, health and society? Using examples from a range of sports, the session will summarise progress made in recent years and show how the lessons learnt from previous mistakes have been applied. In particular, it will show the critical role of effective coaching in increasing participation and maintaining involvement, both among children and adults.

Afternoon Keynote Address
Professor Paul Johnstone (confirmed)
Regional Director, North of England, Public Health England
“Delivering healthier communities through sport and activity”
Sport can help shape healthier, more prosperous and more sustainable communities, and the wider benefits of sports participation can result in broader social and economic impacts. Currently Britain has the highest rate of obesity in Europe with one in three children overweight or obese by the age of nine. With public health responsibility now in the hands of local authorities, there are new opportunities to develop a holistic approach to tackling costly health problems by encouraging healthier lifestyles.
