With many more names to be confirmed over the coming weeks, Rugby Expo 2013 is set to be the biggest instalment yet, inspiring discussion and debate across many of the industry’s key issues and talking points.

In a change to previous years, this year’s professional game focused day one will host three master class summits. These will run alongside the main stage plenary sessions and will cover ticketing & fan engagement, marketing & social media and sponsorship & commercial strategies. Spaces will be available on a first come first served basis.

For day two of Rugby Expo the attention will switch to community rugby, combining main stage sessions with smaller, focused workshops where delegates will be provided with expert advice, best practice and working examples addressing the subjects that dominate the grass roots game.
