The Ministry of Tourism & Transport, Culture & Sport, is pleased to announce that registration is now open for ‘Game Changers’, a dynamic new event series hosted by The Department of Sport and Recreation. This marks the relaunch of the National Sports Conference & Expo, taking place from September 5th – 7th, 2025 at the Hamilton Princess Hotel & Beach Club.
Bringing together athletes, coaches, administrators, parents, and sport leaders from across the island, the three-day event aims to celebrate, strengthen, and future-proof the sporting ecosystem in Bermuda. With a dynamic mix of keynote speakers, workshops, panels, and an interactive community expo, Game Changers will offer a platform for learning, connection, and collaboration across all levels of sport.
Designed around three themes: ‘Inspire & Reflect’, ‘Equip & Empower’, ‘Showcase & Connect’, the event will explore timely and practical topics including:
• Sport psychology and performance
• Nutrition and recovery strategies for athletes at all levels
• Female-specific approaches to training and injury prevention
• Athlete data protection and privacy under Bermuda’s PIPA legislation
• Volunteer recruitment and retention
• Strategic planning and governance for NSGBs
• Youth pathways and high-performance development
• Sports technology and performance analytics
• Funding models and sponsorship readiness
In addition to keynote presentations and panel discussions, the conference will feature practical workshops tailored to parents, athletes, coaches, and sport administrators. On Saturday, Game Changers will showcase local National Sports Governing Bodies, businesses, interactive booths, sport demonstrations, and family-friendly activities.
The full conference experience on Saturday is available for just $25 per person, while individual workshops throughout the weekend will be offered free of charge. This pricing structure is designed to make the event accessible to a broad range of attendees, from grassroots volunteers to elite athlete support teams.
The conference is open to the public, with sessions geared toward athletes (youth and senior), coaches, parents, teachers, NSGB leaders, club volunteers, health professionals, and sport administrators. Whether you’re looking to grow your club, support your child’s development, or navigate elite athlete pathways, Game Changers offers practical tools and fresh insight to support your role.
