About this Event
This year we're bringing together a panel of ESEA leaders in sports sharing their career journeys, opportunities, challenges, trends and future plans, while providing audiences with a variety of East and Southeast Asian (ESEA) food from independent vendors.
โAcross the portfolio of jobs in sport measured by standard occupational classification codes, people from ethnically diverse backgrounds account for 7% of the workforce, which is half their incidence in the working population (14%).
Representation is notably low for the influential roles of sport coaches, instructors and officials (5%) and leisure and sport managers (6%).โ
Join our panelists as they discuss the importance of inclusive representation and leadership in the world of sports -
๐ Matt Ho (Senior Planning and Projects Manager, Premier League)
๐ Amy Pu (The Boxing Life Coach & Professional Boxing Referee)
๐ Alan Lau (Founder & Director @ The Frank Soo Foundation)
Tickets include all food and drink, access to the panel session, and a chance to network in a vibrant central London location.
This year, we're proudly working with East and Southeast Asian owned food vendors:
