Meet ‘You. Smart. Thing.’ in Newport on 10 November
On 10 November, sport leaders, innovators and decision-makers from across Wales will come together at the Riverfront Theatre in Newport for the Welsh Sports Association’s Sustainability in Sport Conference 2026. The day explores how sport can lead the way on climate action, from clubs and governing bodies to universities, community trusts and facilities.
We’re proud to be supporting the conference again this year, and to be part of a programme focused on practical change across Welsh sport.
Partner Spotlight: ‘You. Smart. Thing.’
Alex Townshend, our Head of Environmental and Socio-economic Impact, will take to the stage for the first Partner Spotlight of the day.
For most sports organisations, visitor travel is one of the largest parts of their carbon footprint, and one of the hardest to influence. Alex will share how event organisers can help visitors make smarter, lower-carbon travel choices, and how travel data can support both sustainability reporting and a better visitor experience.

Speaker: Alex Townshend, Head of Environmental and Socio-economic Impact, You. Smart. Thing.
Date: Tuesday 10 November 2026
Time: 11:45
