From match day, to every day: a new era for venues
With inequality widening, climate challenges accelerating, and public expectations rising, the role of major venues as anchor institutions has never been more critical. They are uniquely positioned to drive bold, community-centred change – moving from places of spectacle, to engines of resilience, inclusion, and long-term prosperity.
In November 2026, business and sports leaders, innovators and changemakers will convene at Villa Park for a two-day takeover, co-hosted by The Conduit, Aston Villa, and Levy. We will explore the next generation of stadium-led social impact and chart how these spaces can help shape a more equitable and sustainable future for communities.
