Once again Xperiology is proud to support Play The Game – the conference that puts to question the essential issues in sport!
For the 8th time Play the Game invites you to engage in open, fact-based and constructive debates on a number of themes that are essential to the future of world sport. As always, the conference strives to be cutting edge in controversial policy issues such as the fight against doping, corruption and for better governance in sport, but Play the Game 2013 will also put focus on the development of grass-roots sport, mega-events and sports facilities.
The conference takes place in Aarhus, Denmark on 28-31 October 2013.
At Play the Game 2013 you can experience top leaders from world sport’s most powerful organisations engage in direct debate with some of their most competent critics among international media professionals, academics and practitioners.
FIFA-reform expert Mark Pieth, IOC member and former WADA president Dick Pound and top investigative journalists such as Declan Hill, Andrew Jennings and Jens Weinreich are among the keynote speakers at the conference, which can also present representatives from organisations such as Interpol, the World Lottery Association, Europol, EU, CAS, FIFA, WADA along with Russian and Brazilian corruption-hunters.
