SportAccord is very pleased to announce a partnership with Signify<\/a>, the world leader in lighting for professionals and consumers. With 29,000 professionals in more than 70 countries, Signify\u2019s products, systems and data-based services enable sport to be shown in the best possible light, improving spectator experiences, broadcast coverage and fan engagement – despite varied conditions. This makes Signify a great match for this year\u2019s IF Forum theme of \u201cThe New Global Reality In Sport: IFs in a world that refuses to stand still\u201d. When they meet in Lausanne from 27-29 October, the leaders of International Federations will discuss, learn and share insights as they chart a course for sport to succeed in an ever-changing world.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn today\u2019s new global reality, sport is not just about what happens on the field, it\u2019s about creating truly immersive experiences that connect athletes and fans everywhere,\u201d<\/em> said Signify International Director for Sports and Arenas Niels Geven. \u201cAt Signify, we believe lighting plays a vital role in shaping those moments, from enhancing performance to bringing communities together through superior experiences. That\u2019s why we\u2019re proud to partner with the IF Forum, to help illuminate the future of sport on a truly global stage.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As a new partner for the IF Forum, Signify joins an exclusive lineup of SportAccord partners that also includes Explore Edmonton<\/a>, Marsh<\/a>, Sport Event Denmark<\/a>, and Dawson Andrews<\/a>. Together, these organisations support the international sport community through shared expertise, strategic insight, and a commitment to long-term impact. Signify\u2019s own commitment to a positive long-term impact includes doubling the number of women in leadership positions, and a 90% reduction in emissions by 2040. Its energy-efficient lighting solutions have also significantly helped sports organisations all over the world to meet their own impact commitments.<\/p>\n
