Time TBC / Room TBC

Football and festivals, music and sport; platforms of enormous cultural value and impact… and a battle ground for cancel culture. Festivals cancelled by artists, artists cancelled by festivals, artists banned by countries, Eurovision cancelled by countries, sponsors cancelled by events, and football clubs cancelled by sponsors. How do we navigate cancel culture and boycotts whilst standing true to our values and decreasing intimidation and misinformation?

Dan Lambert, manager of Kneecap, COO of Bohemian Football Club and former Irish Diplomat at United Nations; and Dale Vince OBE, chairman of Forest Green Rovers FC, founder of Ecotricity, and UN Sport for Climate Action Ambassador are familiar with these topics. The Palestinian Flag flies at both of their football clubs, and both call for UEFA to ban the Israel Football Association from competing in international tournaments. And both have experience of what happens when you speak out. Hear insights from the eye of the storm in this vital conversation.
