The star-spangled line-up of speakers for this month’s Women in Football Be Inspired Conference in partnership with Barclays has been confirmed, almost in its entirety – with the identity of just one special guest still to be announced.
Hosted by broadcaster Reshmin Chowdhury at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday 26 March, the event features many notable names directly from the world of football. These include Eni Aluko MBE, the former Lioness turned football executive, as well as Julie Uhrman, the co-founder of groundbreaking US club Angel City FC, and the outspoken Norwegian FA president Lise Klaveness.
During the afternoon, journalist and broadcaster Kelly Cates will take to the stage to lead a conversation with the mystery speaker whose identity is yet to be revealed. Delegates are urged to keep a close eye on Women in Football’s social media channels for the announcement between now and the event.
