Conferences and Events

The European Healthy Stadia Network regularly hosts conferences and events bringing the sports and public health spheres together to share best practices, form new partnerships and understand how the sports sector can respond to public health challenges – which all contributes to the Healthy Stadia agenda.

Our events are attended by a range of stakeholders from the smallest grassroots clubs to influential governing bodies of sports. Delegates often include everyone from academic researchers to public health practitioners and stadium operations managers to community coaches.
