Akif Cagatay Kilic Gençlik ve Spor Bakanı’nın Mesajı Değerli konuklar; Sayın IOC Başkanı ve değerli IOC üyeleri, SportAccord Başkanı, ASOIF, AIOWF, ARISF, Yaz ve Kış Olimpiyat Oyunları ile Gençlik Olimpiyat Oyunları Organizasyon Komiteleri, Dünya Oyunları Organizasyonu ve değerli katılımcılar; sizleri SportAccord 2014 vesilesiyle, ülkemizde ağırlamaktan büyük mutluluk duyuyoruz, hoş geldiniz. SportAccord 2014’ün ülkemizde gerçekleşecek olması, son yıllarda spor adına büyük hamleler gerçekleştiren Türkiye için son derece anlamlıdır. Çünkü Türkiye, sporu yaşam biçimi haline getirmiş bir toplumu yakalamak hedefiyle ortaya koyduğu vizyon, bu vizyon çerçevesinde gerçekleştirdiği yatırımlar ve genç nüfusu ile günümüz spor dünyasında her geçen gün daha yukarıya tırmanan bir ülke konumundadır. Bu bağlamda, ülkemizin her köşesinde dev spor yatırımları gerçekleştirmekteyiz. Sadece birkaç yıllık zaman zarfında, yaklaşık 5 milyar TL’lik bir yatırımın sonucunda birer birer gerçekleşme aşamasına gelen 1000’in üzerinde spor tesisini hayata geçiriyoruz. Ülke çapında, gençlerimizi sistemli biçimde tarayarak, geleceğin şampiyonlarını bulmayı planladık. Hedef; 6 milyon genci taramadan geçirmek ve Türkiye adına sporda başarının mümessilleri olacak bu gençlerimize, dünya standartlarının ötesinde bir sportif performans ve eğitim sistemi sunmak. Bunun yanında; son yıllarda ülkemizde gerçekleştirdiğimiz büyük spor organizasyonları da, Türkiye’nin spor noktasındaki büyük gelişimine açıkça işaret etmektedir. Türkiye’nin başarıyla altından kalktığı, dünya çapında ve marka değeri yüksek birçok organizasyonun bulunduğu bu sürecin, gelişerek devam etmesini planlamaktayız. Gelecek dönemde umuyoruz ki Türkiye, yatırımı, tesisi, eğitimi, gerçekleştirdiği organizasyonlar ve genç nüfusunun spora adaptasyonuyla, tam bir spor ülkesi olmayı başaracak ve bu alanda da büyük başarıların ismi haline gelecektir. Ancak daha da önemlisi, bu çalışmaların sonucunda hedefliyoruz ki, spor toplum ile gerçek anlamda buluşacak, insanımız tarafından özümsenerek geleceğin sağlıklı Türkiye’sinin temelleri atılmış olacaktır. Ve biliyoruz ki; bu vizyonla yetişen ülkemiz gençliğinin dünya toplumuna da katkısı büyük olacaktır. Bu duygularla, Sport Accord 2014 toplantısının ülkemiz ve dünya sporu adına hayırlara vesile olmasını temenni eder, en kalbi saygılarımı sunarım.

message From the turkish minister of youth and sport Dear President, the Executive Board and members of the IOC, President of SportAccord, ASOIF, AIOWF, ARISF, Organizing Committees of the Summer and Winter Olympic Games and Youth Olympic Games, the International World Games Association and esteemed participants; we are very pleased to host and welcome you in our country on the occasion of SportAccord 2014. That SportAccord 2014 convenes in Turkey, a country that has taken major steps in sports in recent years, is very meaningful. As Turkey, with its young population and its vision to create a society that has adopted sports as a way of life and with its investments towards that vision, has become a rising country in the contemporary sports world. Within this context, we are making massive investments for sport all around the country. Over 1.000 facilities are being effectuated through some 5 billion Liras of investment only within the last few years. We have planned to bring about the future champions through systematic scouting among the children and youngsters of the country. Our target is to screen 6 million youngsters and provide the ones to become Turkey’s representatives of accomplishment in sports with a sporting performance and training system above the world standards. The major sporting events that have been organized in our country in the near past also clearly indicate Turkey’s great progress in sports. We plan to evolve the process involving many world-class events with high brand value that Turkey had undertaken so successfully. We trust that in the next epoch Turkey will succeed to become a truly sporting nation and the name for achievement in sport thru its sporting young population, investments, facilities, training and the events hosted. However, engagement of the Turkish people with sports in a real sense to lay the foundation of a healthier Turkey, contributing ever more to the world sport with her sporting youth is our priority and goal. With these sentiments; I hope that Sport Accord 2014 meeting shall redound propitious results on behalf of world sports and offer my deepest respect.

Prof. Dr. Uğur ERDENER Türkiye Milli Olimpiyat Komitesi Başkanı’nın Mesajı Dünya sporu Antalya-Belek’te buluşuyor. Yılın en önemli spor toplantısı olan SportAccord’u, önemli spor organizasyonlarına ev sahipliği yapan ülkemizde organize etmekten büyük bir mutluluk duyuyoruz. Dünya sporunun yöneticileri ve spora destek veren kuruluşların temsilcilerinin, özünde sporu ruhunda hisseden değerli dostların Belek’ten güzel anılarla ayrılacaklarına inanıyorum. Türkiye’nin gözde turizm merkezlerinden olan Belek aynı zamanda dünyanın önemli golf destinasyonlarından birisi ve her yıl bu alanda iyi bilinen sporculara ev sahipliği yapmakta. İnanıyorum ki, konuklarımız SportAccord süresince bu fırsatı da değerlendireceklerdir. Yine, birkaç yıl içinde Belek’in birçok spor dalında, gerek büyük organizasyonlara hazırlanma, gerekse o organizasyonların bizzat gerçekleştirilmesi konusunda da yeterli altyapıya sahip olacağını memnuniyetle ifade etmeliyim. SportAccord bu açıdan da katılımcıların bölgeyi tanıması için iyi bir fırsat yaratacaktır. SportAccord, Türkiye’yi ilk kez ziyaret edecek olan konuklarımızın ülkemizin genç potansiyelini tanıma ve değerlendirme fırsatını bulmalarının yanında, birçok uluslar arası spor yöneticisinin ve spora hizmet üreten kuruluş temsilcilerinin spor yöneticilerimiz ile bazı projelerini paylaşma olanağını da yaratacaktır. Bu önemli organizasyonun gerçekleştirilmesi için büyük destek veren Gençlik ve Spor Bakanı Sayın Akif Çağatay Kılıç’a teşekkürü bir borç biliyorum. Saygılarımla.

thomas bach Uluslararası Olimpiat Komitesi Başkanı’nın Mesajı Bu yılki SportAccord Kongresi’nin teması olarak belirlenen “Sporun Yeni Sınırları”, sporun günümüzdeki gerçekliğini çok iyi yansıtıyor. Önemli geleneklere saygı gösterir ve sporun ebedi değerlerine sıkı sıkıya bağlı kalırken, bir yandan da yüzümüzü daima geleceğe çevirmeliyiz. Sporun yeni sınırlarında dolaşmak, inovasyon ve esneklik gerektirir. Sporda eşitliği geliştirmek, sporun önemini sürdürmek ve sporun barış ve toplumsal gelişme için bir araç olarak kullanmak gibi hedeflerimiz doğrultusunda, yeni fikirlere ve yeni yaklaşımlara daima açık olmalıyız. Hayatın tüm alanlarındaki durumlar, olaylar ve gelişmeler spor üzerinde etkili olmakla birlikte, sporun geleceğini şekillendirmek için proaktif şekilde çalışmamız gereklidir. Uluslararası Olimpiyat Komitesi, 2020 Olimpik Gündemiyle ilgili çalışmalarını bu motivasyonla yürütüyor. Sporcuları Olimpik Hareketin merkezinde tutarak, yıl boyunca Olimpizmi destekleyerek, IOC’nin rolünü daha iyi tanımlayarak ve IOC’nin yapısını ve organizasyonunu iyileştirerek Olimpiyat Oyunlarının benzersizliğini korumanın yollarını arıyoruz. İşbirliği vazgeçilmez önemdedir ve SportAccord bu açıdan önemli bir rol oynuyor. Yılda bir kez düzenlenen bu toplantı, spor dünyasının tüm birimlerindeki paydaşlarımızın birbirleriyle ve devletin, iş dünyasının, akademik çevrelerin ve sivil toplumun temsilcileriyle fikir paylaşımında bulunması için bir fırsattır. Her zaman olduğu gibi, bu yılki Kongrede de Olimpik Hareket çok iyi temsil ediliyor ve IOC İcra Kurulu bu vesileyle bir kez daha bir araya gelmekten mutluluk duyuyor. Uluslararası Olimpik Yaz Sporları Federasyonları Birliği’yle, Uluslararası Olimpik Kış Sporları Federasyonları Birliği’yle, IOC tarafından tanınan Uluslararası Spor Federasyonlarıyla, Uluslararası Dünya Oyunları Birliği’yle, Uluslararası Ustalar Oyunları Birliği’yle ve bu yüksek düzeyli diyaloğun diğer tüm önemli katılımcılarıyla bir araya gelmek de IOC için büyük bir mutluluk olacak. Birlikte çalışarak, yeni sınırların spor ve toplumla ilgili hedeflerimize doğru ilerlemekte önemli bir geçit olmasını sağlayacağız.

Thomas Bach Başkanı, Uluslararası Olimpiat Komitesi

Message from the President of the International Olympic Committee The theme of this year’s SportAccord Convention, “Sport’s New Frontier”, captures the reality of sport today. We must always look to the future while respecting important traditions and adhering to the eternal values of sport. Navigating sport’s new frontier requires innovation and flexibility. We must remain open to new ideas and new approaches to goals such as promoting equality in sport, maintaining sport’s relevance and using sport as a tool for peace and social development. While context, events and developments in all walks of life have an influence on sports, we should proactively shape the future of sport. That is the motivation behind the International Olympic Committee’s work on Olympic Agenda 2020. We are examining ways to preserve the uniqueness of the Olympic Games, keeping athletes at the centre of the Olympic Movement, fostering Olympism year-round, better defining the role of the IOC, and improving the IOC’s structure and organisation. Collaboration is essential, and SportAccord plays an important role in that regard. This annual gathering is a time for stakeholders throughout the world of sport to share ideas with each other and with representatives from government, industry, academia and civil society. As always, the Olympic Movement is well represented at this year’s Convention, and the IOC Executive Board is pleased to once again meet on this occasion. The IOC is pleased to meet the Association of Summer Olympic International Federations, the Association of International Olympic Winter Sports Federations, the Association of IOC-Recognised International Sports Federations, the International World Games Association, the International Masters Games Association and all other important actors in this high-level dialogue. By working together, we will ensure that the new frontier is a gateway to progress in achieving our goals for sport and society.

They feature world-class athletes and professional organisation standards, global broadcasting and media activities while encouraging diversity, integrity and participation. Doping-Free Sport: SportAccord supports the vision of a world where all athletes compete in a doping-free sporting environment.

Founded in 1983 by the 21 International Federations governing the sports included in the programme of the 1984 Summer Olympic Games, ASOIF was created to form a unifying and cohesive link between the summer Olympic IFs, the IOC, organisers of the Olympic Games and all global sports stakeholders. Today ASOIF has 28 member IFs who form the programme for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Tokyo 2020 and beyond. ASOIF’s role is to serve and represent the summer Olympic IFs in the most competent and professional manner on all issues of concern, effectively as the “House of Common Interest” of those Federations. Its mandate covers representation in particular with the summer Olympic Games, the Youth Olympic Games and all affairs within the Olympic and Sports Movement. It includes representation at the World Anti-Doping Agency and the Court of Arbitration for Sport and covers issues such as governance, the integrity of sport, the fight against illegal betting and corruption and all matters that affect its member Federations. Under the leadership of Francesco Ricci Bitti, who took up the presidency in 2013, ASOIF binds the summer Olympic sports together in a manner that promotes their unity for the collective enhancement of those sports and the Olympic Movement. The new presidency has seen a marked increase not only in ASOIF’s daily operations, but also in the scope of its representation and projects for the benefit of its members encompassing a fuller engagement in matters of common interest. ASOIF is administered by an executive body, its Council, which comprises the President and six other members. The ASOIF administration is located in Lausanne and led by Executive Director Andrew Ryan. Council PRESIDENT VICE PRESIDENT MEMBER MEMBER MEMBER MEMBER MEMBER executive DIRECTOR

Association of IOC Recognised International Sports Federations Maison du Sport International 54, Av. de Rhodanie CH-1007 Lausanne Switzerland Phone: +41 21 318 8243 Fax: +41 21 318 8242 E-mail: info@arisf.org Website: www.arisf.org

ARISF is the Association of IOC Recognised Sports and actively supports and represents the interests of those International Sports Federations which have been granted recognition by the International Olympic Committee as per the Olympic Charter Rule 26. ARISF ensures that millions of athletes across the planet - from the grassroots to the elites benefit from the recognition which the IOC grants to their sports and campaigns to have the recognised sports fully integrated into the structures which govern and administer sports at the national level. The passion for sport unites ARISF and its 34 Member International Sports Federations in the pursuit of common goals. Between all of them, they convey several relevant messages to the world at large: Recognised sports contribute to the diversity, universality and timelessness of the sporting landscape. Recognised sports belong to the community of world sport. Recognised sports are an integral part of the Olympic Movement. Millions of athletes across the planet practice recognised sports and aim to make the world a better place through sport. ARISF is represented on IOC Commissions and provides valuable input reflecting the views of the Member International Federations: by assuming a key role in the periodic review of the Olympic Sports Programme, representing the recognised sports which are eligible to feature in the Olympic Games of the future and assisting them in their efforts to secure broad social recognition for their sports as well as for the sportsmen and women who practice them at all levels. council PRESIDENT Secretary General Vice President Director Director Director

aims mission & vision

Alliance of Independent members of SportAccord, AIMS, are an informal group consisting of all the IFs members of SportAccord but not yet IOC recognized. At the moment we have not established an association but function with a working group executing the key priorities defined in the AIMS strategy. Espen Lund WAKO Acting President SportAccord Council Member E-mail: espen.lund@sportaccord.com Website: www.wakoweb.com www.sportaccord.com

Vision: To create a strong group within SportAccord and make all sports equal and valuable. Mission: The mission of AIMS is to support and promote the work of its Members and to obtain recognition of its Members as the specific world governing bodies of their sports by the National and world Sports Authorities. In doing so, AIMS seeks to obtain the benefits of such recognition for the millions of sportsmen and sportswomen that the AIMS Member Federations collectively represent. Objectives: The AIMS will support and assist the IFs in achieving and developing within the service area of SportAccord, creating good governance and policies and that will strengthen the position of each IF. The AIMS will assist the IFs to commit the Sport Authorities and/or National Olympic Committees to recognise the national associations of the IFs. The AIMS will encourage and assist its IFs to also work and develop in the principle of social responsibility. The AIMS will, in dialogue with SportAccord and the IOC, assist its member federations in their objective to be included in various International Games inside and outside SportAccord. the aims working group chairman Espen Lund, Kickboxing (WAKO) Julie Gabriel, Savate (FiSav) Mike Haslam, Dragonboat (IDBF) Gerhard Zimmermann, Minigolf (WMF)

host city information

belek

A Pearl at the Turkish Mediterranean Coast With a coastline of 17km and its rich flora and fauna, Belek is a site of unequalled natural beauty. Green pine forests, home to more than 100 bird species and exceptionally clean beaches awarded with the Blue Flag, home

to the endangered Caretta Caretta sea turtles, together with a variation of luxurious hotels addressing every taste and an average of 300 days sun attract every year millions of visitors from all around the globe.

But Belek is more than just sea, sand and sun... Providing extraordinary meeting and congress facilities with more than 200 congress halls offering capacities for groups of 500 to 3,500 people, simultaneous translation services and high technology audio-visual equipment, Belek hosts medical and scientific congresses and meetings all year round. Belek has great facilities for Olympic & extreme sports, with capacity of hosting major international sports events. World Championships, World Cups of numerous sports and more than 1,000 football training camps are held every year. New modern sports venues are created for the development of sport. A Sports Complex, named Gloria Sport Arena is being built right now and will be inaugurated in March 2015. Fifteen different golf courses located in the same area and a favourable climate make Belek a golferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paradise as well. Many major golf tournaments take place in Belek. Some of

these are the Turkish Airlines World Finals Tournament, with the participation of Tiger Woods and many other worldfamous golf players and the Turkish Airlines Ladies Open. In September 2013, the 50th World Archery Congress was held in Belek, followed by the 47th edition of the World Archery Championships organised by World Archery with 441 athletes from 69 nations. In 2014, Belek will be the host of SportAccord International Convention, which is one of the largest and most important gatherings of international sports leaders and decision-makers in the world. We are very excited and our team is ready to welcome the members of this great sport family in one of the most qualified convention and meeting centers of the Mediterranean, which provides high technology equipment and an experienced team.

susesi luxury resort Susesi Luxury Resort, which was built thanks to an investment by İÇDAŞ, Turkey’s largest iron, steel and energy company, opened in August 2007 following a two-year construction project costing US$150 million. From its very first day, Susesi Luxury Resort has been ranked among Turkey’s top-level hotels. Located on a spectacular site only 40km from Antalya International Airport and 3km from the centre of Belek, Susesi Luxury Resort is one of the best equipped hotels in the Mediterranean region and features the largest Convention Center in the Belek region. Featuring 13 rooms, with the largest one covering an area of 2,000 m2, the Convention Center offers a Foyer area of 3,600m2. Quality is a high priority in the business world.

Susesi Luxury Resort offers the services required by its guests and has an awareness of the necessary quality requirements thanks to its professional and dedicated team and state-ofthe-art technology. Each phase of the service process – from seating order to lighting design and from installation of a sound system through

National and international meetings, congresses, seminars or product launching events… Whatever the requirement is, Susesi Luxury Resort is there to conclude each service with a smile on your face. With 534 rooms, the hotel is large enough for you to accommodate all of your team. All rooms have been delicately designed for the comfort of guests. A total of 374 rooms out of 412 rooms in the main building are standard rooms. In addition, there are 46 standard rooms in the terrace residence. The remaining rooms have been designed for the demands and requirements of our guests who seek more luxury and comfort, and they are categorized as family rooms, lake suites and Royal suites. While we offer a festival of taste for our guests in the main restaurant ‘Turkuaz’ and in six different a la carte restaurants, where elegant flavors of world cuisines are served, we also host our guests in 12 different bars with high quality beverage selections. The magical atmosphere of the ‘LA CALISSE SPA’ center will be one of the main memories that you will bring home from Susesi Luxury Resort, with its 7,500m2 pools and the feeling of comfort and luxury that has been finely designed down to every detail.

‘LEGAL CHALLENGES FOR INTERNATIONAL SPORTS ORGANISATIONS’ International sports organisations’ legal practitioners (in-house and external counsel), non-lawyers, sport professionals with an interest in sports law. LawAccord 2014 offers the opportunity to examine the most pressing and relevant legal issues for the international sports movement. Indeed, sport faces increasingly complex legal challenges in various jurisdictions around the world. While each sport or organisation has its own unique priorities and parameters, many legal issues are common to all. LawAccord 2014 will be the place to make connections, share experiences and broaden the understanding of sports law. Sports leaders and lawyers will offer insight on best practices for dealing with legal issues in sport. For the 2014 edition of LawAccord, SportAccord wanted to design a programme that addresses the specific areas of operation and concern for its Members. To that end, we solicited the input of our Members through our LawAccord Survey. The results were then analyzed and used to specifically tailor the programme and topics to the current areas of legal activity for Members. The Programme is designed to provide workshop style, interactive sessions to allow panelists and participants to share their views on the session topics. We invite all SportAccord Members, legal advisors, sport professionals and service providers as well as SportAccord Conference delegates to attend the 2014 LawAccord conference. We look forward to a productive and interactive discussion.

Session 1: Host Agreements Host Agreements for SportAccord Members’ events allocate risk between an IF and Host. In this session, panelists and participants will explore some of the challenges in risk sharing, whether in relation to commercial programmes or dispute resolution and liability. Sub-topics include: striking the right balance, due diligence and guarantees, taxation, cancellation, and residual IP.

Break (refreshments)

Session 2: Insurance The availability and cost of insurance is of increasing concern at all levels of sport and in part because of the globalization of sport calendars. SportAccord Members are facing challenges relating to medical and injury insurance all the way up to liability insurance for cancellation, curtailment and media exposure. This session will explore the challenges SportAccord Members face in relation to ensuring appropriate insurance is available and in place for their respective members, officials, participants and athletes as well. It will also look at whether a sport’s commercial partners should undertake their own insurance or contribute to that of a federation.

11:15 - 11:55

Session 3: Competition Rules, Event Regulation and Disciplinary Procedures The development and enforcement of Competition Rules and Event Regulations represent a significant area of activity for SportAccord Members’ legal department and advisors. SportAccord Members must ensure that disciplinary procedures are responsive to evolving competition rules and event regulations. This session will explore Members’ challenges with respect to Competition Rules and how Disciplinary Procedures (whether through internal or external entities) are designed to support the sporting goals while at the same facing new developments in sport (equipment, new disciplines or competitions etc.).

KEYNOTE ADDRESS: Major Event Objectives The Commonwealth Games is one of the biggest multi-sport events on the world stage, and the Ryder Cup is golf’s premier biennial competition. How is Scotland, with a population of five million, meeting the challenges of hosting both of these events in the same year, and seizing the opportunities they offer for both host city locations, and Scotland as a whole? Can a major event really help to achieve big-picture economic and social objectives? Shona Robison MSP, Minister for Commonwealth Games and Sport, Scottish Government

14:00 - 15:00

PANEL SESSION: Sharing the bidding process and responsibilities With the hosting of major events becoming ever more costly and complex, sharing the burden between host countries is increasingly viewed as an option.

KEYNOTE ADDRESS and Interview Main auditorium Grinding through the gears: The Challenge of Restoring Confidence in International Cycling and Lessons for the Sporting Family

sportaccord convention CAFÉ

Join Ed Hula, from Around The Rings, for coffee, croissants, and highlights of the latest news and views from the Olympic Family.

MAIN AUDITORIUM

No sport has been placed under the critical microscope more constantly and more damagingly than cycling. The explosion of the Lance Armstrong affair, and the sweeping away of the UCI’s previous leadership, leaves cycling’s international governing body with the responsibility of rebuilding a reputation tarnished by doping, cheating, and a lack of transparency. As the new President of the UCI, Brian Cookson has the task of transforming the image and practices of international cycling. He will address the challenges he and his team face – and how the rigours placed upon the UCI should be recognised by all IF’s if the sporting world is to be taken seriously in an evermore commercial and sensitive environment. Brian Cookson, President, Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI)

12:00 - 13:00

A WOMEN’S WORLD: The journey towards sporting equality

MAIN AUDITORIUM

Join a panel of leading women from the sports industry for a frank discussion on how to create better sporting equality – on the field of play, in the media, in sponsorship spend, and on the boards of national and international sports governing bodies.

PLENARY PANEL SESSION: The New Face Of Leadership

MAIN AUDITORIUM

A changing of the guard has been taking place around the world of sport, with new leaders assuming guiding roles in many organisations. This panel brings together several of the most influential people who have recently taken leadership positions. What are their goals? What are the common challenges and opportunities shared by their organisations? What are the possibilities for co-operation? MODERATOR: David Eades, Anchor and Journalist, BBC World Helena Alterby Nordstrom, Chairman, Ladies European Tour Brett Gosper, Secretary General, International Rugby Board Vlad Marinescu, Director General, SportAccord Andrew Parsons, Vice President, International Paralympic Committee

16:00 - 17:00

THE RULEBREAKERS AND GAME CHANGERS MAIN AUDITORIUM Successful sports are often the ones that are most open to reinventing themselves continually, adapting to changing appetites and circumstances. In this session, participants will have the chance to rewrite the rules of sport. If you could change the rules of one sport, what would you do? The session will hear updates from IFs and sports who are doing just that, as well as from audience members with opinions of their own. Come with a rule-change to propose, and be prepared to make your case. INTRO: Marius L. Vizer, President, SportAccord, SportAccord Convention MODERATOR: David Eades, Anchor and Journalist, BBC World Adrian Christy, Chief Executive, BADMINTON England Andrew Craig, President, The Craig Company LLC Brett Hasell, Marketing Coordinator, International Hockey Federation (FIH) Nenad Lalovic, President, International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles (FILA) Sarah Lewis, Secretary General, International Ski Federation (FIS)

Ease into your morning with some coffee and banter with SportBusiness, as they present their Ultimate Sport City Awards 2014.

Sébastien Foucan achieved global fame for his breath-taking escapades in ‘Casino Royale’ alongside Daniel Craig’s 007. Behind this extraordinary physical activity called ‘freerunning’ lies a conviction about the true value of sporting exercise and achievement. Sébastien will discuss what he believes is the root to achievement, enjoyment and fulfilment in sport. And will issue a challenge to those who see sporting success in purely commercial terms. Sébastien Foucan, Freerunning Founder/Instructor & Public Speaker

youth club

MAIN AUDITORIUM

The average age of the TV viewer for the Olympic Games is now 50. So where is the younger generation? What are they watching, how are they watching and what inspires them to switch on - or over? A panel of young people explain, demonstrate and share their thoughts on what they like – and don’t like – about sport. This is a chance for IFs, sponsors, broadcasters from all sporting directions to tap in to the younger audience - who will dictate successful sports coverage in the years ahead.

PLENARY PANEL SESSION: The Integrity Issue

main auditorium

Without the rules, sport loses its true meaning. Holding on to the integrity of sport, however, appears more challenging every year. This session will tackle the scale and breadth of cheating in sport, from doping to match-fixing to gamesmanship. It will address the challenges facing IFs and sponsors alike. It will also draw on the expertise of the integrity police in search of a way forward. Can the ultimate sporting crisis be averted? MODERATOR: David Eades, Anchor and Journalist, BBC World John Amaechi OBE, Managing Director, Amaechi Performance Systems Chris Eaton, Director of Sport Integrity, ICSS Andreas Krannich, Managing Director Strategy and Integrity, Sportradar Gianni Merlo, President, AIPS Sir Craig Reedie, President, WADA Friedrich Stickler, President, The European Lotteries

Helena Alterby Nordstrom was born in 1978 in Gothenburg, Sweden. Helenaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father first took her and her sister to the golf course at the age of eight, and she has been passionate about the game ever since. She played as an amateur for many years while getting her Masters degree in Computer Science. Her first step towards a professional golf career was through the Swedish Golf Tour, where she played two full seasons. At the Solheim Cup 2003 Helena was an assistant for a television production company and discovered that the superstars playing the tournament did not hit the ball further than she did. Later that year, she qualified to the Ladies European Tour (LET) and played there on a full-time basis until 2007. She has also played tournaments on the Australian Golf Tour, Asian Golf Tour and South African Golf Tour. She has been a member of the Board of Directors for LET from 2007 and was elected Chairman in 2013. Helena now works as a banker at SEB in Sweden and is happily married with two children. This summer she is looking forward to playing some golf with her eldest son and her father.

Marzena Bogdanowicz is a sports marketing and sponsorship expert with over 25 years of experience. She runs her own marketing consultancy, b-focused ltd, which specialises in sport sponsorship, commercial consultancy, marketing and project management. She is passionate about sport and the value it plays in all our lives. Currently a Non-Executive Board Member of Volleyball England, Marzena was also the Team Manager for the GB Women’s Beach Volleyball team at the Atlanta 1996 Olympic Games – the first appearance for both the sport and a GB team. Marzena has also been involved at local club level in both volleyball and triathlon. Having spent three years at both the Squash Rackets Association and the Test and County Cricket Board (now England and Wales Cricket Board), Marzena went on to spend 10 years as Director of Marketing at the British Olympic Association where she developed a lasting legacy with the introduction of the internationally recognised Team GB brand, representing the Great Britain Olympic Team. The brand has since grown from strength to strength, even more so after London 2012 with Team GB now front of mind during any Olympic Games.

Marzena Bogdanowicz Managing Director, b-focused Ltd

Marzena has worked with many brands and rights holders in defining their marketing and sponsorship strategies. In addition she has led the management and coordination of largescale projects and events such as the London 2012 Live Sites Network, 2008 Visa Handover in The Mall, London and the 2004 Olympic Torch Relay, London.

Nick Butler has spent the last eight months as a reporter for insidethegames.biz in his first job since graduating from university. He studied history at Durham University followed by an MPhil in International Relations at the University of Cambridge - where he cut his journalistic teeth by also being sports editor of The Cambridge Student Newspaper. In those eight months Nick has travelled to a variety of major global sporting events, including the Asian Youth Games in Nanjing, the 125th IOC Session in Buenos Aires and the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. In that time he has written about subjects ranging from sponsorship to doping, on people ranging from gold medals winners to International Federation Presidents, and on issues spanning “How to cover the Olympics without any rights” and “What role does alcohol play in sport today.” He combines a love for writing and world affairs with a passion for following sport - and a rather less successful passion for playing it - so is thoroughly enjoying getting to grips with the Olympic Movement.

Adrian Christy has been Chief Executive of BADMINTON England since 2006 and has led the modernisation and transformation of English badminton through a vision to ‘consistently develop Olympic champions and get the nation playing badminton’. He also leads the GB Olympic badminton programme on behalf of the four home nations. Adrian led the bids for England to host the European Team Championships in 2009, European Individual Championships in 2010 and the World Championships in 2011, one of the most exciting pre-Olympic major event schedules in the UK and has seen this strategy drive considerable commercial success for BADMINTON England. Adrian is currently leading the largest project in the history of English badminton with the redevelopment and relocation of the National Badminton Centre to a state-of-the-art, elite and community sports facility. Prior to joining BADMINTON England, Adrian worked in local authority Sport Development and Sports Coach UK before moving into National Governing Bodies, first with the Lawn Tennis Association and then onto England Squash & Racketball.

Brian Cookson was elected President of the International Cycling Union (UCI) in September 2013 at its Congress in Florence by 24 votes to 18, after campaigning on a manifesto to restore trust and lead change at the UCI. For over 40 years cycling has touched Brian’s life, both as a rider and administrator. His cycling experience spans senior level positions within local, national and international cycling and he has a proven track record of delivering change and success. In 1996 Brian was elected President of British Cycling, a position he held unopposed until his election as UCI President. Upon becoming British Cycling President, the organisation was near bankrupt and sporting success was modest. All that changed over the next 15 years with British Cycling experiencing unprecedented sporting and commercial success.

Brian Cookson President, Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI)
