For the first time ever, experts from across the sporting, political, and social spheres will join forces and stand together in the face of online hate.
The world of sport, whilst exciting and inspiring, is facing an epidemic of abuse. Athletes, officials, and supporters are facing digital hostility, cyber bullying, and hate speech that needs to be addressed.
To ignite the fight, the Fédération Internationale de L’Automobile (FIA) is proud to announce the upcoming inaugural United Against Online Abuse (UAOA) conference, the first of its kind, taking place at their Paris headquarters on Wednesday 29th May.
Drawing on the knowledge of experts, the personal experience of athletes and officials, and the combined dedication of all in attendance, the event will serve to educate and inform, building a global coalition to tackle online abuse.
