With 2 months to go until the MOVE Congress in Budapest, we are delighted to announce that Dr Fiona Bull MBE, from the World Health Organization, will be our first keynote speaker on 17 October and set the scene for one of our strongest programmes yet.

Following the keynote session, featuring gamification experts Markos Aristides Kern and Rocket Beans TV active storyteller Gino Singh, Dr Bull will lead Track 1 of the MOVE Congress ‘Game-changers connecting physical activity and health’.
