“We expect this to be quite the gathering of local sport leaders as well as international.”

Dinsdale is eager to hear about the futuristic insights of NBA commissioner Adam Silver, Megan Rapinoe’s future during the twilight of her illustrious soccer career, and the discussion on the global politics sport climate with World Athletics President Lord Sebastian Coe.
