The convention will host delegates from the International Olympic Committee and heads of State, organising committees such as the Summer, Winter and Youth Olympic Games, the World Games and delegations from other major events.
 
Kate Jones, Queensland Tourism Industry Development minister said: “This event will bring 1,500 representatives from up to 100 countries, representing 500 different international sports federations, rights holders, organising committees, businesses and other sporting organisations to the Gold Coast.
 
“Hosting SportAccord gives us unprecedented access to key decision makers and provides the opportunity to showcase our capabilities first hand.
“The success of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games proved we have everything required to host large-scale, international sporting events. As a result of the Games we have a range of newly-built and upgraded world-class sporting venues."
