Hosted by Loughborough University, the Women in Sport and Exercise Academic Network Annual Conference (WiSEAN) 2026 brings together researchers, practitioners, and industry for a two-day conference.

Join us for two inspiring days built around the call to 'Strike with Purpose: Empowering Women’s Health & Performance through Insight and Innovation'. WiSEAN 2026 is a moment to showcase your work, forge new connections, and help drive the network’s collective impact.

Whether you advance theory, shape policy, design products, or deliver programmes, WiSEAN 2026 gives you a platform to share insights, challenge assumptions, and co-create solutions for a more equitable and dynamic sport ecosystem. Beyond the conference, WiSEAN 2026 champions these solutions across communities and society.

This year’s programme features keynote spotlight speakers, panel discussions, workshops, and networking opportunities. All the activities are designed to spark progress, amplify innovation, and strengthen inclusion.
