Sport.Forum.Switzerland: Looking to the future
The 29th Sport.Forum.Schweiz will take place on November 16 and 17. The conference will focus on major upcoming events, global trends, and the day-to-day challenges facing Swiss sports.
With a plethora of high-profile international sporting events set to take place in Switzerland over the next few years, the nation is on the brink of a golden sporting decade. On November 16 and 17, 2023, the Sport.Forum.Switzerland will start right here and shed light on this era. The two-day congress will take place at the KKL in Lucerne, gather 100 renowned speakers and include 14 exciting forums.
A decade of major events
From the 2024 UCI Cycling and Para-Cycling Road World Championships to the UEFA Women's EURO 2025 and a host of winter sports world championships such as biathlon, ice hockey and the Alpine World Ski Championships, it is clear that Switzerland will be at the center of global sport in the coming decade. Moreover, with the Winter Olympics, hosting what is arguably the world's most prestigious sporting event remains under discussion. National Councillor Aline Trede, Ruth Wipfli Steinegger, from Swiss Olympic, Sandra Felix, from BASPO and Urs Lehmann, the President of Swiss-Ski, will discuss the strategies and new paths.
Classics and fresh ideas
Despite these major events, it must not be forgotten that day-to-day Swiss sport is constantly confronted with new challenges. Questions of financing, digitalization and sustainability are at the center of many discussions. Hidden champions such as trail running or the World Sport Climbing Championships are also given a big stage. Compared to its neighbors Germany and Austria, Switzerland continues to invest very generously in sports. Success stories such as the Tudor Pro Cycling Team, the support of Migros in women's swing sports or the innovations of FC St.Gallen clearly show this. Their best cases show how Swiss sport masters the most diverse challenges.
Meeting place for athletes and decision makers
For the 29th time, Lucerne will be the focal point for decision-makers from the fields of sports, sponsorship, tourism and media. At this year's industry summit, athletes such as downhill world champion Patrick Küng and Petra Klingler, the world champion in sports climbing, will meet representatives of renowned sponsors such as Coca-Cola, Continental Suisse, UBS, Helvetia, Carl F. Bucherer, Intersport Switzerland and many more. Experts and enthusiasts will come together to discuss, debate and ring in the golden decade of Swiss sport.
