Advantage Ladies, the FE&MALE Sports Conference, 2026 is expanding its programme for the first time to include in-depth workshops in the afternoon.

After a morning full of stimuli and discussions, the workshops offer targeted spaces for exchange, professional consolidation and practical application. They combine in-depth knowledge with interactive formats, enabling reflection and transfer into your own sports practice.

From strategy and media work to coaching and respect in sport: the workshops are all about discussing insights together, sharing experiences and developing concrete options for action.

The combined experience and expertise of the participants flows into concrete impulses for male allyship and responsible action in sport - with a particular focus on the promotion and visibility of women and girls in sport.
