ASPC launches the official programmes for the 2026 Continental Forums in Europe, Africa and America.
The ASPC is proud to officially launch the programmes for the 2026 ASPC Continental Forums, three major international gatherings that will bring together the global high performance sport community across Europe, Africa and America.
Taking place in Rio Maior( Portugal), Swakopmund( Namibia) and Guatemala City( Guatemala), the ASPC Continental Forums continue consolidating their role as key international meeting points for high performance centres, coaches, athletes, sport scientists, performance specialists, sport managers and institutional leaders working at the highest level of sport. More than conferences, the ASPC Continental Forums are collaborative platforms designed to strengthen international cooperation, promote knowledge exchange and generate strategic discussions around the future of elite sport and the road towards the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
In an increasingly interconnected high performance environment, collaboration between centres, organisations and professionals has become essential to accelerate innovation, optimise athlete development systems and build sustainable performance models capable of responding to the evolving demands of international sport.
ASPC European Continental Forum 2026 Rio Maior, Portugal | 23 – 25 September 2026 Hosted by Rio Maior Sports Centre, the European Forum will focus on some of the most relevant challenges and opportunities currently shaping the European high performance ecosystem, including governance and certification of training centres, leadership and sustainable performance systems, research and innovation, Paralympic sport and dual careers.
The programme will also explore the growing expectations placed on high performance centres by National Olympic Committees and international sporting stakeholders in the lead-up to future major events.
