We are delighted to announce that the new Sport England chief executive, Jennie Price, has agreed to be one of the keynote speakers at the ISPAL National Sports Development Seminar (NSDS) on 19-20 June.

She will join ISPAL chair Peter Mann on the first morning platform to present the delegates with a fresh perspective on the sports development sector.

ISPAL CEO David Teasdale said: "Jennie's presentation will be the first opportunity most jobbing sports development professionals will get to hear her point of view and to find out her new plans for their sector.

"The ISPAL NSDS is the foremost updating, upskilling and networking event in the sports development calendar and it is appropriate that Jennie should be speaking there at her earliest opportunity."

The programme for the event has been released this week. Prospective delegates can download the booking form here or visit www.ispal.org.uk to secure their place. With more than 30 per cent of places already taken by early bird bookers the event is expected to sell out early.
