Under the inspiring theme "Trailblazers in Tennis", our programme explores the individuals, innovations, and movements that have profoundly shaped the sport and created a lasting legacy. Engage in thought-provoking discussions on vital topics such as LGBT tennis pioneers, the role of female umpires and officials, tennis segregation, and the dynamic interplay between technology, media, and our beloved sport.

Our lineup of distinguished keynote speakers includes a panel of pioneering female umpires, the influential voices from The Tennis Podcast, as well as wheelchair tennis champions Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid, who will share their unique insights and experiences.

We are eager to welcome you to this landmark event, where you can connect with fellow enthusiasts, partake in insightful discussions, and explore the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum, Centre Court, and the world's largest tennis library.

Mark your calendars – the conference will run from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, with a light lunch provided. Don't miss this chance to be part of a historic celebration of tennis! We look forward to welcoming you to Wimbledon in December.
