"We are delighted to be returning to Asia for a second year to build upon the success of SportAccord 2006 in Seoul," said Anna Hellman, General Manager of SportAccord. "Being in Beijing one year before the 2008 Games will add a new, exciting dimension to SportAccord and offer further benefits to our delegates, sponsors and exhibitors." One such unique benefit will be the opportunity to visit some of the future Olympic and Paralympic venues, courtesy of BOCOG.
Wang Wei, Executive Vice President of BOCOG, commented: "It is a privilege to host the 5th annual SportAccord event. We look forward to welcoming the leaders of the sports movement along with present and future event organising committees and commercial partners to Beijing for SportAccord 2007. One of the highlights for BOCOG will be the opportunity to invite delegates to see for themselves the progress we are making with the Olympic and Paralympic venues."
