Speakers from EggChasers Rugby, Harlequins, the Rugby Players Association and HBS/Skroller have been added to the line-up for Digital Sports Summit. This full day conference and networking event, sponsored by TATA Comms Media, will take place on 25 June at Kings Place in London.
In a special showcase session, Rachael Burford, head of women’s rugby at the Rugby Players Association, and HBS/Skroller general manager Jamie Aitchison will be joined by Harlequins centre Orla Proctor to discuss how and why female rugby players are becoming digital content creators, a move that is helping both clubs and leagues resonate with new and different audiences.
