Previous FTF Expert Speakers:

Message from Tony Sharkey, CEO of the Football Transfer Forum

"The 14th edition of the Football Transfer Forum (FTF 14) will be our first visit to London. The pull of the big smoke was just too hard to resist!

We have chosen AFC Wimbledon as the venue, mainly because I went there for the Fair Game Conference and was so impressed with the stadium, the conference facilities and the service by all the staff - it blew me away.

This season their men's team have started well in their EFL League One campaign after gaining promotion via the play-offs, beating Walsall at Wembley. Whilst the women's team compete in the FA Women's National League South.

We are, once again, combining both the Men's Game and the Women's Game on the same day and FTF Expert Speakers will be drawn from both. We are very proud of the speakers we attract and the insights that they provide. The names on the list above are some of the top operators in the industry.

We will be announcing our speakers in the coming weeks.

We are really looking forward to welcoming all the Football Transfer Forum community to FTF 14 at AFC Wimbledon and those joining us for the first time.

You are guaranteed to expand your network and previous forums have seen delegates make deals and strengthen their relationships. Furthermore, FTF 14 is an excellent way to prepare for the January transfer window.

We hope you can join us."

Tony

Message from Ryan McKnight, Director of the Football Transfer Forum

"London Calling! Tony and I have always wanted to bring the Football Transfer Forum to the capital and after the huge success of the FTF 13 at Villa Park we're excited to finally make it a reality.

The event has always been about the same things for us; being affordable, encouraging the opportunity to meet new/quality people and a focus on quality over quantity in respect to content. Even 13 events in, I still feel we're making things better each time.

Coming to London has presented us with some additional opportunities which we are excited to share with you in the coming weeks.

If you're a regular FTF attendee we look forward to seeing you again and if you're thinking of coming for the first time, you won't regret it.

See you in November."
