(ATR) WADA President and speaker at Host City 2017 Craig Reedie believes the next two Host City conferences present "fresh opportunities" for delegates.
"Host City is a really good conference involving cities that want to host events. Anything that can be done to put sport and cities together at an early stage is a good idea and I look forward to this happening in Glasgow and Beijing," Reedie said in a statement.
The conferences intend to focus on how cities and organizers can work together to bid and host sustainable events. Events can range from sports championships to business expos and more.
Both conferences will also give the International Olympic Committee the opportunity to sit down with and better understand future host cities as the bidding process for the Winter Games changes.
The speaker line-up for Host City 2017 includes not onlyReedie but FIBA secretary general and IOC member Patrick Baumann, USOC executive board member Angela Ruggiero, FIS/AIOWF secretary general Sarah Lewis and more.
