PADSIS Knowledge Exchange Forums

Dates & Venues

    Our Knowledge Exchange Forums return for a third year in 2026, bringing Directors of Sport together to collaborate, share ideas and tackle the challenges facing school sport. These forums provide a trusted space to solve real problems, learn from one another and build strong professional relationships. Shaped by the experiences of Directors of Sport, they are practical, supportive and focused on helping colleagues lead with confidence in an ever-changing landscape. Rather than simply listening to presentations, delegates actively contribute to discussions, gaining insights they can take straight back to their own schools.

    Why attend?

    Because the most powerful professional learning often comes from each other. By joining a Knowledge Exchange Forum, you will expand your network, gain fresh perspectives and leave with ideas and strategies that will strengthen your programme and leadership.
