You’ll find everyone from public health pros to teachers, local council people, and sports facility managers—all the people making things happen for London’s health.

This isn’t just another day of talks; it’s about teaming up and walking away with real ideas that can make London a healthier, more active place.

What’s on the Docket?

  • Kicking off with some high-profile keynote speakers, attendees can expect thought-provoking presentations that get straight to the heart of how to maximise public spaces for physical activity.
  • No fluff, just real solutions for real-world challenges. But it’s not just about listening—there are plenty of breakout sessions that dive deep into crucial topics. Here’s a taste of what’s on the agenda:
  • Using Digital Solutions: Learn how tech is transforming London’s public spaces into inclusive, active zones for people of all ages and abilities.
  • Opening the Gates: Ever wondered how schools can play a bigger role in fighting inactivity and inequality? This session explores the critical role educational institutions have in promoting community health.
  • Local Authority Public Health: Discover how local authorities can take the lead in making space for physical activity and how they can energize these areas to get London moving.

Creating Safe, Active Communities: This isn’t just about big projects; small interventions like mapping routes can have a major impact on building active communities.

London Sport’s CEO Emily Robinson comments: “In a city facing challenges such as child inactivity, rising living costs, obesity, mental health concerns, loneliness, and climate change, your presence at Active LDN matters.

By digging into how sport and physical activity can tackle these challenges, we’ve got the chance to make a real difference in the lives of Londoners.

Why You Should Be There

This isn’t your typical conference where you just sit and listen. It’s the perfect chance to meet people who are on the same page, exchange ideas, and possibly spark collaborations that could make a real impact.

Here, networking goes beyond just introductions—it’s about joining forces to take on the major challenges in public health and getting more people active.

Whether you’re a local council rep or a sports facility manager, there’s no better place to get the latest on how to make your space more active-friendly.
