Place and date

The Global Rugby Leadership Conference 2023 will take place on September 27 and 28.

The conferences will take place in the mythical Gerland stadium.

Objectives :

Within the framework of the Rugby World Cup 2023, we are organising this seminar in order to discuss the sport we love so much, rugby. These two days will allow us to talk about business, leadership and many other subjects related to this sport.
In order to welcome you in the best conditions, we are working with the LOU rugby, a French professional club, to have access to their stadium and to be able to set up these conferences.

At the end of the first day of the conference, you will be able to enjoy a convivial moment in an emblematic restaurant of the city of Lyon. La brasserie Georges.

Around this seminar, matches of the Rugby World Cup will take place in Lyon.

  1. The first one is Australia-Wales on September 24th.
  2. The second is Uruguay-Namibia which takes place in Lyon with the possibility to go and see the match at the stadium or to stay at the LOU stadium to watch it on a giant screen.
  3. The last one is Japan-Samoa which takes place in Toulouse and which you will be able to watch in Lyon in order to finish the seminar around the match.
