We invite representatives from every corner of the sport to attend and contribute. Many important issues will be debated within the proposition that committed and sustainable community engagement is at the heart of racing's future strategy.

"At the iconic Ascot racecourse, guests will have the chance to network, discuss shared issues and solutions and be inspired through the challenges likely to be posed by our fantastic line up of speakers."
