The room is taking shape. SportAccord is proud to announce the first three returning partners to the SportAccord Forum 2026.
All three are long-standing partners of SportAccord, bringing expertise and experience from across the international sport community to the Forum’s new partner programme.
Marsh — Event Partner
A returning partner across multiple editions of the IF Forum, Marsh brings its expertise in risk management and insurance to the SportAccord Forum. As Event Partner, it will contribute that perspective to conversations around the challenges of hosting and delivering major events.
Explore Edmonton — Event Partner
Explore Edmonton, the destination management and marketing organisation for Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, returns as a long-standing SportAccord partner. Drawing on its experience of hosting major international sporting events, it will contribute to the Forum’s conversations on the future of hosting.
Sport Event Denmark — Event Partner
Denmark’s national sports event organisation, Sport Event Denmark has partnered with SportAccord events for more than a decade. Established and supported by the Danish Government, it brings extensive experience in attracting and delivering World and European Championships, major sporting events and congresses.
“Marsh, Explore Edmonton and Sport Event Denmark have been part of the SportAccord community for many years, across the IF Forum and the Convention,” said Kelly Fairweather, Managing Director of SportAccord. “It is fitting that they are among the first partners to join us as SportAccord enters its next chapter.”
Together, they will join more than 500 senior decision-makers from over 120 International Federations, the IOC and the wider international sport community at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne from 5 to 7 October.
Further partner announcements will follow in the coming weeks.
