About SportAcoord SportAccord International Convention is a 5-day gathering of 1500 leading representatives from international sport. The annual convention is held in a different country each year and encompasses the Congress and General Assemblies of over 100 International Sports Federations (IFs) and their related Associations. SportAccord’s goal is to offer the international sports community an annual occasion to gather together in an exclusive and authoritative networking environment, to build relationships, expand horizons and broaden sport’s collective endeavours.
SportAccord International Convention was originally launched in 2003 in order for the Associations and the IFs to increase efficiency by holding all of their annual meetings at the same time and place, and also as a commercial platform whereby the sports industry could have 'one-stop-shop' access to all the world governing bodies and their key decision-makers. An Exhibition and a Conference were created in conjunction with the meetings, to encourage networking and facilitate understanding within the international sporting community. Since 2003, when SportAccord first took place in Madrid, the event has been held in Lausanne, Berlin, Seoul, Beijing, Athens and Denver, allowing attendees to experience the culture and hospitality of colleagues all over the world, and event-owners to visit cities and venues interested in hosting sporting events. Next year, SportAccord will take place in Dubai from 25-30 April 2010.
Over the past 7 years, SportAccord International Convention has become one of the key fixtures on the international sporting calendar. But the event itself has now evolved into a SportAccord Community… a diverse group of people from across the sports spectrum, and from all over the world, who value this unique opportunity to learn, to grow, and most of all to share – not only their varied experiences, but the cumulative wealth of knowledge everyone brings with them to our annual gatherings.
