“The campaign we have undertaken to bring international sports events to Quebec is bearing fruit,” said Quebec Mayor Régis Labeaume. “The SportAccord Convention is a unique opportunity to show the leaders of world sport the numerous attractions of our city.”
“We will be celebrating the tenth anniversary of the SportAccord Convention in 2012 and we are delighted that the special occasion will be in Quebec,” added Anna Hellman, executive director of SportAccord Convention. “We are happy to be taking our event to Canada for the first time as we continue to hold it at a different location around the world each year.”
The 2012 Convention – which will be the first time the event has taken place in Canada - is provisionally scheduled for May 20-25.
The ninth edition of the SportAccord Convention takes place in London during April 2011. The event will be held at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel.
