EFDN Conference Programme
This 19th edition of the EFDN Conference is the ideal opportunity to meet your fellow EFDN members and other football-related organisations and to gain new knowledge around ESG/CSR strategies in European football. Themes like fundraising, sustainability, racism, gender inequality, disability football or social inclusion, will be discussed and explained by experts in these domains and in line with EFDN’s motto that ‘Together we are #Morethanfootball’.
This time, we have changed the programme a bit and start with our General Assembly on Tuesday morning and more interactive study visits. The full programme for the 19th EFDN Conference can be downloaded here.
