CONFERENCE: Play the Game

For the sixth time, Play the Game will gather internationally leading journalists, academics and sports practitioners for debates about crucial issues in world sport. The voice of academics is needed in the efforts to find solutions to ensure good governance in management, policy making, anti-doping measures, professional football, sport for all etc.

Our 2009 conference takes place in Coventry, UK, from 8-12 June, in cooperation with Coventry University and its Centre for the International Business of Sport.

Play the Game offers unique opportunities to exchange knowledge and opinions not only with high profile academics like Wladimir Andreff, Joe Maguire and Sigmund Loland, but also with outstanding journalists like Declan Hill (author of “The Fix” about match fixing), David Goldblatt (author of “The Ball is Round”), renowned sports blogger Jens Weinreich (at www.jensweinreich.de ) and as well as sports leaders who set the agenda of today: IOC member and former WADA President Richard W. Pound, WADA Director General David Howman, Betfair Managing Director Mark Davies and many others.
