As part of the partnership engagement, iSportConnect will also host a workshop at SportAccord aimed at tackling disruption.
“The last few years have shown how vulnerable we are when external factors around the world can disrupt the best laid plans when it comes to hosting global sports events or taking part in international competitions. The challenges are growing and not getting any easier,” said Sandy Case, CEO of iSportConnect.
The iSportConnect workshop will cover fundamental issues around organisational travel and security that wouldn’t have garnered too much interest in the past. However, in the current climate these topics have taken on a much greater significance.
“World events, climate change and macro-economics have come together at such a pace in recent years, that many of us are struggling to keep up with the challenges presented in this fast-moving environment. The iSportConnect workshop will arm delegates with practical intel and know-how so they can start tackling challenges – tomorrow.”
