Past events
GSWPARIS 2020
In 2020, GSW Paris was launched as the first international forum for sport in France.
Over the span of 3 days, the inaugural edition of Global Sports Week Paris gathered over 2,000 leaders from across the global ecosystem of sport, at the Carrousel du Louvre.
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 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 – Paris’ most iconic indoor arena, a venue for the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The third edition centred on two days of in-person events in Paris and Los Angeles, as well as a wealth of additional digital and offsite events worldwide, accessible via our digital platform around the week.
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 2021
In 2021, wishing to strengthen its international dimension, but conscious of the environmental and health issues linked to the organization of a global event, GSW adapted to the situation by creating an innovative, hybrid-format event. It thus became the first multi-country forum for Sport in the world: both physical and digital – with a presence in continental hubs in all 6 future Olympic host cities – Paris (central studio at the top of the Eiffel Tower), Tokyo, Beijing, Milan, Dakar and Los Angeles.
Over 20,000 visitors connected to the digital platform created for the forum, which was structured around the highly-relevant theme : « Reinvention in action! ».
