SportAccord Convention in Lausanne Receives Great Interest from Organizations Wanting to Take Part in This Year's Exhibition

Delegate and exhibition registration is now open online for the next SportAccord Convention to be held from 17-22 April 2016. The 14th annual edition will return to Lausanne, the Olympic Capital, and is set to take place at the SwissTech Convention Center.

A discounted delegate accreditation rate is offered to delegates booking their places early via the website at www.sportaccordconvention.com.

As part of the official programme, the Convention will host a three-day exhibition at the SwissTech Convention Center. Offering state-of-the-art exhibition facilities, the Center provides the perfect backdrop for sport and industry to showcase their organisations, launch new products or services and attract key decision-makers at this prestigious global gathering.

Speaking about the focus for this year’s exhibition as well as the new features on offer, Brandon Kelley, Sales Manager, SportAccord Convention commented:

"We’re expecting a great deal of interest for the exhibition and received a lot of interest as soon as the City of Lausanne was announced. At the 14th edition of the Convention, our valued partners and delegates will see and experience enhanced service offerings with a focus on information sharing across various channels, including the new exhibitor and delegate ‘PLUS’ packages. This year, we’ve placed the SportAccord Convention Café at the heart of the exhibition, a natural crowd-drawer, offering organisations the opportunity and platform to engage with delegates face-to-face and conduct business meetings over the three days of the exhibition." He went on to say:

"Our exhibition has become a coveted part of the Convention as many organisations from both sport and industry see the opportunities it brings. With over thirty-five percent of exhibition space already sold, we don’t want to disappoint and urge organisations to make their arrangements early to guarantee their space."

Held in a different city every year, the annual SportAccord Convention is a unique opportunity for key decision-makers from sport and industry to meet, network, and strategically shape global, regional and national agendas. An exclusive 6-day event comprising of up to 2000 delegates, the Convention is host to annual general meetings of governing bodies, and once again, will welcome a delegation from the International Olympic Committee.

Now in its 14th edition, the SportAccord Convention comprises: a themed conference including City Forum, LawAccord and MediaAccord, as well as a Plenary Conference. The exhibition is represented by industries, sport organisations, government offices, cities, event services, media, and many more. A Sports Demo Zone as well as social and cultural programmes form part of the Convention.
