Later this month, on Sunday 21 January, a conference for rowers will be held at Dorney Lake, two miles west of Windsor and Eton. At The Rowers Conference – Rowing & Tech, international experts, practitioners, analysts and coaches will explore how the use of technology improves teams and individual performance in rowing.

According to the conference website the attendees will ‘Gain insights from experts in other sports. See up-to-date hardware and software to understand the implications for your squad or club. Rub shoulders with like-minded individuals facing similar challenges.’

The attendees will also learn how to use technology to add value to their training programme, monitor its impact and better exploit their training programme and improve performance. They will also learn why rowing is at the forefront of British Olympic sport.

Among the speakers are Robin Williams, Katherine Grainger, Rob Baker and Annamarie Phelps.
