Twitter, NBA, Microsoft, IBM, YouTube and Google discussed ways they can and do contribute to the growth of sport in a 'Sports Digital' seminar. Advancements in virtual reality and interactive technology played a major role in discussions at the conference. NBA Senior Vice-President Benjamin Morel states the basketball association is currently conducting one virtual reality basketball game per week.

WADA President Craig Reedie led a 90 minute discussion on doping in a `Sports Law` seminar. He was joined by the CEO of NADA Germany Dr. Andrea Gotzmann, Chairman of the IOC Disciplinary Commission Professor Denis Oswald and Deputy Director of the Cycling Anti-Doping Foundation Oliver Banuls.

During the conference Reedie was as a recipient of a lifetime achievement award by the ISC.
