Wednesday May 04, 2011 - The inaugural 2011 Asia-Pacific Sports Conference will now take place on 27-28 September in Singapore. Organised by Informa Sports Group and supported by the Singapore Sports Council, this new conference will examine the wealth of new opportunities, as well as the challenges of hosting and organising sports events in the Asia-Pacific region.
"The huge interest being shown in this new event has taken us by surprise", said Andy Treadwell, MD, Informa Sports Group. "A number of influential sports bodies and key regional leaders have asked us to move the dates so that they can take part. It is obviously highly complementary to our successful ISEM Conference in Europe, and most international sports industry professionals want the opportunity to take a look at the exciting new markets in the Asia-Pacific region."
The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) has confirmed its support of APSC 2011 in September. The OCA’s Director General, Husain Al-Musallam will present a keynote speech on the important role played by major events in developing society and sport in the region. Captain Husain will discuss the latest developments and plans of the OCA in addition to focusing on the growing impact of the Asian Games on the region.
Fresh from the IAAF World Championships 2011 in Daegu, Korea, Dong-Hoo Moon, Vice President and Secretary General of the Daegu 2011 Organising Committee, will present a case study of the city’s five-year journey to hosting the games, which takes place from 27 August to 4 September. Thomas Lund, COO of the Badminton World Federation, Priscilla Ho, MD from Prescient Sports and Entertainment, China and many more speakers will also join the discussion during the conference.
