Returning for another year of connection, celebration, and industry insight, the Members’ Day is said to put GGF members firmly in the spotlight recognising the achievements, progress, and collaboration that continue to drive the sector forward.

Hosted at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the event will reportedly bring the industry together for an afternoon packed with networking opportunities, inspiring sessions, and exclusive behind-the-scenes tours.

As the industry prepares for another year of change and opportunity, Frank’s message of focus, discipline, and courage is set to resonate strongly with attendees.

The celebrations continue into the evening, with a live band, dancing, and NFL-style stadium food rounding off a perfect blend of work and play.
