Future episodes will discuss issues around community, fan and workforce development, as well as diversity and inclusion topics led by a range of insightful panellists.

John Blake, CEO of Racing Together said: “We are delighted to bring back this popular series that got people talking about some important themes and difficult challenges for racing. We have thought carefully about feedback from the previous webinars to shape the new series.

“The Racing Together Industry Day (February 9th) follows events at Aintree and Warwick in 2016 and 2018. In partnership again with the RCA, we see this varied day as a brilliant opportunity for attendees to connect and to focus on the importance of community engagement and education activity, at a time when the sport is focusing so much energy on its internal workings. We risk losing sight of our responsibilities and the untapped potential to improve community life. The topics and speakers are certain to inspire a new focus.”
