City Football Group Brings Together 250 Young Leaders in First Digital Young Leaders Summit

City Football Group, alongside principal partner Etihad Airways, has hosted its first digital Young Leaders Summit. Traditionally held in Manchester each year, the Summit ordinarily sees Young Leaders from the Club’s global Cityzens Giving projects fly to the Etihad Campus for a week of interactive learning, soccer workshops and networking sessions. However, due to current restrictions as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the Summit has instead been hosted digitally for the first time, for Young Leaders to join remotely from around the world.

Supported by Cisco, the Club’s Official Technology Partner, the digital Summit used Webex to enable all Young Leaders to connect remotely, participate in valuable discussion and engage in fun collaboration.
