Superb speaker line-up at forthcoming Active Communications Conference
A fantastic team of experts will line-up at our forthcoming Active Communications Conference in Manchester. On 11 April, the English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) is delivering the one-day event on accessible communications in sport and physical activity. Supported by Sport England, the event helps delegates to learn how to adapt communication activity and reach more people. Places are limited at this unique event and as early bird rate ends tomorrow (midday 18 March 2016), interested delegates are encouraged to sign up to avoid disappointment.
EFDS promotes and supports inclusive marketing and communications. As well as the successful Guide and film, EFDS has delivered a range of workshops to National Governing Bodies, County Sports Partnerships and other providers. This conference adds to this positive work within sport and fitness, giving delegate an ideal opportunity to talk to experts in the field.
Following the morning keynote session, the afternoon will be as informative and interactive as possible. We will assign small groups, who will move around table discussions on essential communications topics.
