Racing Together announced on Monday that its third annual Industry Day will be held at Nottingham Racecourse on Thursday, February 6, supported by the HBLB, the Racecourse Association and the Racing Foundation.
Keynote speaker Baroness Dido Harding, senior Steward at the Jockey Club, will join contributors from the world of racing and beyond to discuss the value of racing and the impact of community engagement. The day includes welcome refreshments and lunch, while attendees will also have the opportunity to meet a very special retired racehorse as part of the event. The full-day seminar programme and speaker information will follow in due course.
Delegate prices have been held at this year's rate and early-bird tickets at £75 are now on sale here until Monday, January 6.
John Blake, CEO of Racing Together, said, “The support and feedback from the inaugural Industry Day at Ascot, and also this year's event at Chester, evidenced an appetite for honest exploration of the progress and potential of community engagement across racing.
“Building on past themes, while bringing new voices and experiences to our audience, is the challenge of this day and will be the measure of its success. The hope is for guest speakers to trigger an assessment of whether racing can claim an authentic role supporting social cohesion, or if its range of community outcomes amount to an intermittent by-product of commercial success.”
