Life with Football Legislation; preparing for meaningful fan engagement & consultation
As the season draws to a close, eyes inevitably turn to planning for next season’s challenges, especially the introduction of the new independent regulator and what it means for fan engagement.
At Think Fan Engagement, we’ve tracked progress through the Fan Engagement Index since 2019. The results are clear: clubs are making significant, positive changes. That’s why we’re delighted to invite you to ‘Life with Football Legislation; Preparing for Meaningful Fan Engagement & Consultation.’
This is an opportunity to understand the emerging statutory requirements and understand best practice in the fields of fan engagement and consultation. Designed for those needing to plan and implement new, compliant ‘fan engagement’ and ‘fan consultation’ activities, as well as those with a professional or personal interest in the field, it is also an occasion to network with others addressing the same agenda.
Tickets are £159 and you can book via our Ticket Tailor site. Book via the widget below.
