The sixth edition of SportAccord, the annual convention of the sport movement, taking place in Athens, Greece from June 2-6, 2008, will feature a new SportAccord ‘City Forum’ designed specifically to enable cities to share ideas and best-practice principles. Likewise, the brand-new SportAccord Yearbook, being launched this year, will focus especially on sport cities, providing a valuable reference tool on the sporting and event infrastructure of cities worldwide.
Remarking on the preparations, Athens’ tourism and economic development agency said: “A brand new Athens celebrates the privilege of hosting the distinguished SportAccord Event in 2008. As a city steeped in sporting tradition, we look forward to offering a unique and very special experience to all delegates attending the 6th edition of the event.”
