CIMSPA Conference 2025 - Connecting the Dots

At a time when the UK is facing a multitude of complex health, economic and social challenges, the role of the sport and physical activity workforce has never been more vital or more powerful.

The Connecting the Dots Conference brings together leaders, practitioners, and changemakers from across the sector to explore how we unite our efforts and amplify our impact. Take a look at the latest programme here.

We’re connecting the dots between:

• Prevention and recovery
  Exploring how our sector supports the nation’s health, from preventing long-term conditions to aiding recovery and rehabilitation.
• Physical inactivity and economic inactivity
  Tackling inactivity not just as a health issue, but as a key driver of disengagement with work and learning and economic strain, showcasing how our sector professionals are part of the solution.
• Social cohesion and inclusion
  Demonstrating how our workforce is the conduit for stronger, more connected communities, breaking down barriers and unlocking opportunity for all.

Through engaging keynotes, expert panels, and practical workshops, Connecting the Dots will spotlight real-world examples, drive collaborative thinking, and inspire bold action.

This is more than a conference, it’s a call to connect purpose with progress and explore how we can collaborate to scale the phenomenal impact that sport and physical activity professionals have.

Whether you’re delivering in the community or influencing strategy, your role matters. Join us to explore how we can collectively elevate our workforce, and with it, the wellbeing, productivity and unity of the nation.

Let’s turn conversation into connection, and connection into lasting change.
