The fifth annual SportAccord convention will take place in the host city of the 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games and is the first time that the event will be held in China.
Dates for SportAccord 2007 in Beijing will be released on the SportAccord website, along with a round-up of the news from Seoul, by the end of the week.
The convention is a once-a -year opportunity for the commercial sector to meet with the sports movement, bidding cities and organising committees, to learn, to network and to do business.
It is the place to discuss the key issues facing the sports movement alongside sponsors, architects, sports lawyers, broadcasters and other specialists. The convention includes open conference sessions, workshops, seminars, scheduled networking opportunities and an exhibition, all scheduled around the Associations’ meetings.
The 2006 event at the Hotel InterContinental in Seoul was attended by 900 delegates addressed by speakers selected from the most influential people in world sport.
The sessions will be available to view over the internet, following a project in association Narrowstep, who were on hand to record all the conference sessions.
