Sports coach UK and Sports Council for Wales will co-host this industry leading event, which is targeted towards decision makers and those who are responsible for education and management of sports coaches.

As a key event in the coaching calendar, the Summit provides key stakeholders with the opportunity to review progress in coaching and coach development over the past 12 months, share best practice, reaffirm objectives and commitments, and to network with colleagues from other organisations.

It will also enable CEOs and other decision makers in coaching to inform their planning and funding decisions for 2011-12. This year, organisers hope to attract more decision makers from Local Authorities as well as governing bodies of sport.

In addition to sessions that focus solely on coaching, there will be seminars from contributors working outside the sports coaching sphere, allowing delegates to consider how, and what, sports coaching can learn from other sectors. The planned social programme will capitalise on the Summit's location, with strong cultural and heritage links.

A provisional programme for the UK Coaching Summit 2010 can be found in related documents.

The website will continue to be updated over the next few months with more information, speakers, sponsors and booking forms.
