The Horseracing Industry Conference 2023

The annual Horseracing Industry Conference, delivered by the Racing Foundation in partnership with the University of Liverpool, will be returning on Tuesday 24 October at York Racecourse.

Delivered at a pivotal time for racing as industry leaders develop a new strategy for the future of the sport, the conference will bring together experts from both within and outside of the horseracing industry to explore the theme 'Modernising racing: How far and how fast?'

Hosted by broadcaster and Racing Foundation Trustee Rishi R Persad, the conference will include refreshments throughout the day, a two-course lunch and be followed by a champagne reception, and is an ideal opportunity to network with other delegates from the racing community and discuss the topics of the day. Information about keynote speakers will be released in the coming weeks.

The Racing Foundation is committed to environmental sustainability and the 2023 Horseracing Industry Conference will be its most ambitious event yet in that regard. All aspects of the conference’s environmental impact will be addressed including energy, water, food, resources and waste. Emissions and waste will be reduced with the remaining carbon offset through a recommended, high-quality scheme.

It is imperative that the conference is accessible to all; if you would like to attend but the ticket price is a barrier please contact Rhi at rhi.lee-jones@racingfoundation.co.uk.
