GSWPARIS 2022

The third edition of GSWParis gathered 2,000 delegates from May 9th-13th. This year’s forum centred on two days of in-person events at the Accor Arena – Paris’ most iconic indoor arena, a venue for the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games – on May 10th and 11th.

After two long years, the world of sport came back together in its new global capital, in an intimate and convivial setting. A full week of content and networking were made available during the annual forum, along with a programme designed to explore the future of sport at the intersection of business and society.

A wealth of additional digital and offsite events worldwide were accessible via our digital platform along the week. In total, 20,000 virtual attendees, coming from 98 countries were part of the events in Paris, Los Angeles and online.

GSWPARIS 2022

After two long years, more than 2,000 key actors from the world of sport came back together in their new global capital, in an intimate and convivial setting at the Accor Arena. In total, 20,000 digital participants coming from 98 countries attended the events in Paris, Los Angeles and online, centred around 1 key theme – Better VS Bigger: Growing sport in the age of responsibility.

GSWPARIS 2020

In 2020, GSW Paris was launched as the first international forum for sport in France. The inaugural edition of Global Sports Week gathered over 2,000 leaders from across the global ecosystem of sport, at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris. With a new, unique positioning between business and society, the forum was structured under the theme :

« Making business with purpose: For a more innovative and sustainable future for sport ».

GSWPARIS 2021

Due to the global coronavirus crisis, the second edition of GSWParis had to be completely reimagined. The GSW team adapted to the situation by developing an innovative hybrid-forum concept – which was managed from a central studio on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower. Consequently, GSWParis became the first multi-country forum for sport: mixing physical and digital experiences, and present in continental hubs in all 6 future Olympic host cities – Tokyo, Beijing, Paris, Milan, Dakar and Los Angeles. The event was a great success with over 20,000 visitors connecting to the digital platform created for the forum. The 2021 event was structured around the highly-relevant theme : « Reinvention in action! ».
