TGG Live

The annual conference for insights, ideas and networking.

Overview

More than 450 delegates from clubs, federations and organisations around the world gathered at St George’s Park on September 9 & 10 to watch our world-class roster of speakers at TGG Live ’24.

This was our biggest conference to date and the aim was to bring different departments and organisations together under one roof to gain insights, share ideas and to network. Over the course of two days, there were 21 sessions, with topics ranging from Sporting Directors to Artificial Intelligence to Neuroscience.

Our keynote on Day One was Tom Vernon, the Founder and Executive Vice Chair of Right to Dream and other speakers included Everton Director of Football Kevin Thelwell, Coventry City Performance Director Claire-Marie Roberts, Reading FC Head Coach Ruben Selles, Brentford Academy Director Stephen Torpey and many many more.

You can see video highlights of the Conference and a full schedule of the two days below.

The Headline Sponsor of the Conference was Teamworks, the Operating System for Sport, and this year we introduced a Networking Dinner, sponsored by Catapult.

Our other sponsors were Collinson Tensile, Eyeball, Footovision, Gemini Sports, IMPECT, Modulek, The Player Care Group, SkillCorner, Stats Perform, STATSports, Trackman, 3v3UK and Twelve.

“The work that TGG do is massively valuable to me and to our organisation”

Tom Vernon

Founder & Executive Vice Chairman

Right to Dream

“This is a platform that, for me, is a reference for professionals in football”

Victor Orta

Sporting Director

Sevilla FC

“It had a very strong start, with Tom from Right to Dream. In football you can get carried away with the money and high performance level and it was nice to bring it back down to community.”

Kathryn Stuart

Player Insights National Lead

Football Association

“The panels are always great, to get a feel for how the same role or type of role looks different at different clubs and in different contexts. It’s invaluable to see that and realise how varied it can be.”

Josh Ewens

First Team Fitness Coach

West Ham United

“You meet so many different people from so many different clubs, but from different industries as well. We all have the same processes, but it’s great to listen, communicate and connect. It’s been brilliant.”
