Dr Steven Mann, research director at ukactive, will be hosting a series of one-to-one surgery sessions at this year’s active-net conference.

Taking place at Loughborough University on 27 and 28 April, the sessions will cover ukactive’s research agenda, looking at how data-driven decisions can generate results for providers across the sector.

“Following the launch of the latest DCMS strategy for sport, the evidence base for physical activity will play a growing role in local authority delivery, and for the private sector too, and so decisions that are driven by a robust data and insight plan are a must,” said Mike Hill, event organiser and director of Leisure-net Solutions.

“Steven Mann’s sessions will help delegates to better understand the opportunities presented by the new health agenda and the role they can play in increasing participation and improving health in their local communities.”

Now in its third year, active-net brings together more than 100 of the leading operators and suppliers within the active leisure sector for the two-day event for business-focused, pre-selected, one-to-one meetings, together with informative educational slots, networking lunches and an evening meal.

Limited free places are still available for senior operators of public sector health, fitness and leisure facilities.
