LONDON, WEMBLEY STADIUM
In May this year, we hosted a two-day conference for our Global Series of Women’s Edition conferences at London, Wembley Stadium. Our goal was to gain a deeper understanding of equality in women’s sports by bringing together thought leaders from the sporting industry.
We were inspired by powerful speakers who addressed a range of topics aligned with our core values and goals under the theme of ‘Sport for Social Change.’ Notable speakers included Ugo Monye, Pundit, Broadcaster and Former England Rugby Player; Archie Kalyana, Diversity Producer for Cricket at BBC Sport; Tim Hollingsworth OBE, CEO of Sport England; and many more.
The conference covered crucial topics such as safeguarding in sports, prioritising the voices of young people, building foundations for success, addressing the gender gap, and exploring the intersection of physical activity and well-being in teenage girls, among other important issues.
We gained valuable insights into how we can collaborate to create a more positive and empowering environment for women and teenage girls in sport. As we continue our mission of using ‘Sport for Social Change’ to promote mental wellbeing through physical health and activity, we remain dedicated to our goal of creating a physically and mentally healthier generation.

TESTIMONIALS
“I was part of a panel at the first edition of Everything in Sport in 2019 in a little room at the Olympic Stadium, and to see how far the event has come is testimony to the unwavering commitment to your vision of supporting and promoting women’s sport and women working in sport. The diversity and inclusion across the event, presentations and panels reflects what sport aspires to achieve, and the environment was conducive to everyone speaking openly and authentically. The cost of attending is also reasonable, enabling wider participation from younger and aspiring participants, which is most welcome.”
“The Everything in Sport Conference gave me and other speakers a good platform from which to speak about inclusion in and access to sport and physical activity and the barriers that women and girls face in particular. What I think was more impressive was the wider opportunity afforded to attendees – not just to hear about the topics and listen to speakers but engage in discussion and network with colleagues from across the sector. That conversation is necessary and invaluable.”
Everything in Sport: Women’s edition 2024 was a fantastic event, brilliantly organised, very well attended by a range of professionals with some inspiring, compelling content and insightful speakers and presenters. The range of topics and the quality of conversation, networking and commitment to collaborate made this a hugely valuable 2 days. I came away inspired, curious to learn more and fully committed to play my role as a leader in community sport for social development. Thank You Omnia, you guys smashed it!
