ASPC Paris 2023 The Power of the Forum

Will you be attending the ASPC “ International Forum on Elite Sport ” in Paris from October 3-6 ? The ASPC ’ s International Forum on Elite Sport is the premiere event for leaders of sport training centres . Welcoming over 200 people for industry leading innovations , networking , professional development , and a showcase of exhibitors and innovation , this is THE event to attend if you are in the training centre or high performance sport business . Whether you are a centre leader , a partner organization , a producer or buyer of specialized sport equipment , this Forum is where it all comes together .
Why would you attend ? There are a couple of reasons as I think beyond the ordinary . The key is to understand that you do not have to be an event planner to attend an event conference , a sponsorship specialist to attend a sponsorship conference , or a sport professional to attend a sport conference .
Here are my reasons for attending the International Forum on Elite Sport as I see several benefits .
1 . I AM GOING TO LEARN .
• Knowledge exchange : Learn from experts and peers in the industry , gain new insights and ideas , and stay up-to-date with the latest trends and best practices . Learn from corporate and business leaders on how they pursue excellence and how they develop their people .
• Professional development : Expand my knowledge and skills , and increase my exposure to new ideas , best practices and innovative thinking . With enough humility we can learn from anyone and everyone . Don ’ t think you cannot learn from another sector . Transferable knowledge is key ! Be open minded . Growth is expected . I need to grow so I can help my organization and others in my organization , grow .
• Sharing experiences : Share my own insights , knowledge , experiences , challenges , and success stories with others , and learn from their experiences . Helping others is rewarding .
• Collaboration and partnership building : Build partnerships and collaborate with others in the same business to find new solutions to common problems and achieve common goals .
2 . I AM GOING TO NETWORK .
• Networking opportunities : Meet and connect with other sport leaders and industry professionals from different centers , organizations and sectors . This is how we build our business . We meet new people , learn about them , develop relationships , and then stay connected to them .
Overall , attending a sport leaders Forum or Conference can help you advance your career , improve your organization , and contribute to the growth and development of the high performance sport sector as a whole .
As an added bonus , Paris is an exciting city to visit with many world famous and iconic sites and the Forum is less than one year prior to the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games .
I hope this helps you to understand the power of the Forum and why you should attend .
