Reflecting on the Inspiring 2023 HSP Annual Conference

Embracing our Active Local Approach

Last week, the Herts Sport & Physical Activity Partnerships Annual Conference 2023 brought together over 150 passionate individuals, creating an atmosphere of shared commitment and enthusiasm. The day's focus centred on Active Local, a place-based approach that seeks to transform communities through sport and physical activity.

The conference featured guest speakers with diverse specialities, providing valuable insights into the multifaceted world of sports and physical activity. Attendees were treated to presentations that explored new ideas, shared best practices, and sparked conversations that will undoubtedly shape the future of community engagement.

For those eager to delve deeper into the discussions and presentations, the conference has made all speaker slide decks available in the resource section. This knowledge repository allows attendees and interested individuals to revisit key takeaways and continue the learning journey long after the event.

During the event, we took the opportunity to showcase our new Active Local video, ‘Our Year’, where we look back at some of the exciting work that has taken place in our communities. The video can be found at the end of this article.
