Countdown to the 19th EFDN Conference has started!
The next EFDN #Morethanfootball Conference will take place from the 20th until the 22nd of March 2023 at the Benito Villamarín Stadium of Real Betis Balompié in Seville, Spain.
This event will be the next European gathering for our Community and Social Responsibility (CSR) network after the successful 18th EFDN Conference that took place in Budapest in November 2022, hosted by EFDN Member Ferenvárosi TC at the Groupama Arena.
EFDN Conferences bring a unique opportunity for CSR experts and newcomers into the CSR world to learn from each other and share their insights about topics such as fundraising in CSR, environmental sustainability, anti-discrimination, social inclusion, online safeguarding, physical activity in younger and older population, or STEM education, among others. The format of the conference includes panels, breakout sessions, study visits and roundtables, and offers multiple chances to network and connect with other EFDN members and experts in the CSR in football. The team spirit and the convivial atmosphere are what make our events special and in line with our slogan that ‘Together we are #Morethanfootball’.
