LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, 1 SEPTEMBER 2026 — SportAccord has named SportsPro as the exclusive Content Partner of the 2026 SportAccord Forum, taking place from 5 to 7 October at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne.

The partnership will bring together SportAccord’s international sport community with SportsPro’s global sports business audience, helping to extend the ideas, perspectives and conversations emerging from the Forum beyond the event itself.

With SportsPro creating content that captures the issues and opportunities shaping international sport and bringing them to a wider industry audience, the partnership reflects SportAccord’s evolving approach to the Forum, with the 2026 event focused on stronger knowledge exchange, meaningful conversations and practical value for participants.

For SportsPro, the partnership builds on its role as a platform for the global sports industry, connecting decision-makers and providing insight into the trends, challenges and opportunities shaping the business of sport.

SportAccord brings together a unique community of leaders from across international sport, and there is huge value in the conversations and perspectives that come from having those people in one place.

We’re pleased to be supporting SportAccord in the creation and distribution of content from this year’s Forum. It brings together a critical mass of leaders from across international sport, and we’ll be working with them to make sure the key stories, insights, decisions and perspectives to come out of it are shared with the wider sports business community.
