Women's Sports Communication Conference
19 March 2026
Taliesin Centre, Swansea University SA2 8PZ
A Welsh language conference for media students, journalism and those interested in sports communication. 6th form pupils who are interested in the field are also welcome.
Do you know the best way to communicate with players and athletes? What is the possible career path to being a sports commentator or producer? How do we ensure that women's sport gets attention?
In this conference we will try to answer some of these questions and hear about the Welsh team's campaign in preparation for this year's Commonwealth Games.
