Sportaccord is a 5-day gathering of 1500 leading representatives from international sport. The annual convention is held in a different country each year and encompasses the Congress and General  Assemblies of over 100 international sports federations and their related associations. Its mission is to offer the sports community a powerful opportunity to come together on a global scale, in an exclusive and authoritative networking environment, to build relationships, share knowledge and develop ideas.

Sportaccord receives the full support of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and its President, who agreed to organise the spring meetings of the IOC Executive Board at each convention to date, and will also be in attendance in Denver in 2009. In addition to its Executive Board Meeting, the IOC hold their annual joint meetings with GAISF, ASOIF and AIOWF during the Sportaccord annual gathering.

This year’s convention was held in Denver, CO – America’s Mile High city. This was the first Sportaccord ever to be held in the United States.
