Tag: Play the Game

Play the Game is a conference that brings together professionals from multiple fields to exchange insights, collaborate, and explore how their work can influence governance, policy, and integrity in international sport. With a uniquely open and dynamic atmosphere, Play the Game fosters dialogue and brings together diverse voices, fresh perspectives, and unfiltered insights. It’s a place to ask tough questions, challenge the status quo, and shed light on the most pressing challenges in sport.

When several hundred international journalists, academics, sport leaders, athletes and others with an interest in international sports politics convene in Odense for the 2022 edition of Play the Game, it happens at a dramatic turning point in sports politics. After a major doping scandal and the invasion in Ukraine, Russia's power in sport is shrinking, and the question of who and what will fill the power gap left behind will be prominent on the conference’s agenda.

Det var i 1997, at Jens Sejer Andersen tog initiativ til den første konference for journalister og andre med interesse for idrættens økonomi, kultur, politik og andre oversete emner. Hurtigt blev Play the Game et ’hjem for de hjemløse spørgsmål i sport’: Emner som korruption i de internationale idrætsforbund, organiseret doping, matchfixing, seksuelle overgreb og krænkelser af menneskerettighederne ved store events.

Play the Game 2019 invites athletes, sports officials, governments, academics, journalists, industry official and all other stakeholders in sport to share your knowledge, experience and opinions in Colorado Springs, from 13-16 October – at the 11th edition of a conference that has a history of more than 20 years as a cutting edge forum for independent and fact-based sports debate.

Her offentliggør vi de danske resultater fra det internationale National Sports Governance Observer-projekt, som undersøger ledelseskulturen i ni europæiske lande og Brasilien. DBU’s formand, Jesper Møller, og DIF-formand og næstformand i de Europæiske Olympiske Komitéer Niels Nygaard er blandt de der vil diskutere de danske resultater og pege på forbedringspotentialet i egne rækker.

Play the Game is a unique forum for networking and professional exchange between 3-400 researchers, journalists, whistle-blowers, sports officials and people from the sports industry. We invite you, too, to submit an abstract/storyline and give your contribution to a more informed sports debate on a number of vital issues for modern sport.

For the ninth time Play the Game invites you to engage in open, fact-based and constructive debates on themes that are essential to the future of sport. Share your expertise at Play the Game 2015, to be held 26-29 October in Aarhus, Denmark.
