The future is bright for SportAccord Convention as it looks ahead to #SAC2017 where the 15th edition will take place at the Scandinavian Congress Center in Aarhus, Denmark from 2 – 7 April 2017. Announced during last week’s SportAccord Convention Opening Ceremony, this is the first time the Convention will be hosted in Denmark. Aarhus is the Danes beloved second city, the one that never sleeps and is known for its youthful vibe.
An active member in the World of Sport, Aarhus and Denmark host a wide variety of major international sporting events and sports congresses each year. On becoming Host City to the next SportAccord Convention, Jacob Bundsgaard, Mayor of Aarhus commented:
"It is quite a scoop that Aarhus will be hosting the world’s largest international event for sport and industry leaders next year. It provides the city with the opportunity to present the many qualities Denmark and Aarhus has to offer - and for Aarhus in particular, it is a great joy to host the SportAccord Convention while Aarhus is the European Capital of Culture 2017."
Next year’s SportAccord Convention will take place in the heart of the City, a smorgasbord of arts, culture and gastronomic delights. Denmark’s new culinary capital has something for everyone. In fact, the Convention’s location makes it the ideal setting for delegates to explore. Within easy striking distance of everything, delegates can make the most of all that Aarhus has to offer on foot.
With so much to see and to guarantee a delegate pass at a great rate, SportAccord Convention are offering the first 50 passes only, at a preferential price of CHF1500. Once these passes have been taken, the price will increase. To take advantage of this opportunity, delegates should pre-register for #SAC2017 at the following link:
