Birmingham, West Midlands - famous warm welcome
Birmingham and the West Midlands are famous for their friendly people and rich industrial and cultural heritage and delegates will get a taste of this as part of the Summit as it takes place right in the city centre.
SportAccord President Uğur Erdener said: “We look forward to seeing familiar faces and making new friends and connections next April in Birmingham and the West Midlands at the SportAccord World Sport & Business Summit. Delegates can now register to secure their places at this highly anticipated event in the heart of the UK’s leading sport city and region.”
Andy Street, Mayor of the West Midlands, said: "We all know how incredible the Commonwealth Games was for the West Midlands, but last year’s spectacle must be the start of a new sporting journey for our region – not the end.
"If we want to keep hosting the world’s biggest sporting events then showcasing our region to sport’s global decision makers is mission critical. That’s why this SportAccord conference is so important - and why I’m delighted we’ve been able to pull it off.”
Leader of Birmingham City Council Cllr John Cotton said: "As a fantastic sporting city with a global reputation for staging unforgettable events, Birmingham is the perfect home for the SportAccord Summit 2024.
As a famously friendly city, we can also guarantee a warm Birmingham welcome to all visiting delegates."
