About this Event
At this session we’ll explore how the city can best position itself with the extraordinary opportunity presented by incoming global sporting events.
The series is being hosted and curated by Birmingham Community Leader, Kaleem Hussain. We’re gathering Fellows with top-class local speakers with a wealth of experience to explore how Birmingham brands itself for the future.
We’ll be joined by:
· Dr Shushu Chen - Associate Professor in Sport Policy & Management, University of Birmingham
· Jordan Patel - Founder of Aqfoodhall: A curated food hall in the heart of Birmingham - home to five exceptional vendors and including a new Sports Zone
· TBC - Aston Villa Football Club Foundation
Help us discuss the issues and explore the practical steps we can all take to help Birmingham realise its incredible potential. Fellows left the first one energised, so we hope you can join us.
