The Club Workshop: Reaching Beyond Sport

24 April 2025
2:30pm – 6:00pm (BST)

Find new ways and avenues to connect with fans and hear from those who are redefining what a modern sports organization looks like.

Overview

The lines between sports and the other entertainment industries are increasingly blurring, and those organizations at the forefront of innovation are finding new ways and new avenues to connect with and serve their fans. From those who’ve excelled in the worlds of music or fashion to the rights holders that find increasing time to build out their non-sport offerings, join us to hear Rupert Taylor, Founder of Grenfell Athletic FC, Andy Fowler, Founder of Brothers & Sisters & Becky Diver Phillips, Vice President Marketing – Sports, Networks & Streaming, Warner Bros. Discovery, who are redefining what a modern organization looks like.

There will be the chance for audience questions after each interview, as well as a focused breakout discussion to support knowledge sharing and problem-solving opportunities for you and your fellow members. We’ll also spend time exploring how to find the right mentor and master the skills to build a successful mentoring relationship, and the role mentoring can play in helping you gain new perspectives, overcome challenges and enhance your leadership capabilities.

This session is for members of the Leaders Club. Members can sign up via the form below – if you are not a member but would like to speak to the team about joining the Club, please get in touch here.
