    When will you announce speakers and workshops?

    We are working hard to confirm details for the conference agenda. We will update on this page as they become available as well through emails to those who have already registered.

    I'm not sure which type of ticket I should buy, who should I speak to?

    We have two types of tickets available, full price and concession. The concession ticket is typically for attendees who are volunteers with the organisation they are representing, or who are otherwise not able to claim the price of the conference ticket. More info contact info@leapsports.org

    We work with people and organisations across Scotland and beyond, and this conference exists to bring some of that work together. We invite sports governing bodies, sports associations and clubs to join as well as other decision-makers, researchers or academics within sport.
