A series of events presented by
The Leisure Review and the Sports Marketing Network

About the events

The Leisure Review Insight sessions have been designed to provide professional development opportunities for the sport, leisure and culture sector in a format that is accessible, in terms of location and style, and affordable, in terms of time and budget.

Presented by The Leisure Review in partnership with the Sports Marketing Network, the Insight sessions will offer instruction and discussion on a range of topics, helping delegates raise the standard of their delivery while developing and maintaining professional links and networks locally.

A pilot programme of four Insight sessions has been scheduled through the summer and autumn of 2010. The first event will be held on 8 July in Cardiff and further events will be announced as venues are confirmed

In the current recession, strategic commissioning is being promoted as a way to tackle budget deficits, meet very tough targets and cope with an anticipated squeeze on public expenditure. Unlike other courses on commissioning, this course recognises the important role for elected members as well as officers in selecting the right path for their culture and sports services using a mixture of best practice guidance presentations, and group exercises.

The conference will open with a debate, focussing on ‘The Legacy – what does it mean?’ and will conclude with a round-up of the two days, focussing on ‘Working Together’.
