We are delighted to announce that Manish Bhasin, a distinguished sports journalist and broadcaster, widely recognised for his work with the BBC and as a leading global presenter for the Premier League, will be the presenter for the Sport Resolutions Annual Conference 2026, in association with Winston & Strawn LLP.
