The Play the Game conference offers a unique forum for dialogue on sport.

Over 12 years and five world conferences, Play the Game has become the only international forum where leading stakeholders meet face-to-face in free and fact-based debates about the most important challenges to modern sport.

The sixth Play the Game world communication conference on sport and society will take place in Coventry, UK.

The conference’s main venue for opening and plenary sessions will be Coventry Cathedral, a site marked by old and recent history and with the university and room for workshops and parallel sessions within short walking distance.

 

Play the Game 2009 will focus on the following themes:

  • Ethics in governance: Will sports federations come clean?

  • Between Beijing and London: Mega-events as drivers of development
  • Business battles: The power struggles in football
  • Match-fixing: A blow to the core of sport
  • Terrible teenagers? Sport’s quest for the hearts and minds of the youth
  • Anti-Doping: Will the technological arms race come to an end?
  • Paralympic athletes: More different than the rest?
  • Sport for the Good: What is it good for?
  • Open forum
