The 6th Hosts and Federations Summit is taking place in Lausanne, Switzerland from 12-15 June 2023. The 2023 edition is designed to deliver a highly focused engagement programme for expert suppliers, rights holders and host cities.
ESA members who are rights holders and sponsors* can attend for free, while Major Events International (MEI) are also providing a 20% discount for agencies and suppliers. Check your ESA member bulletin on 17 January for the code.

Running in parallel to a rich programme of content on event-specific themes will be the bespoke and pre-planned meetings for those who will have chosen this additional support.
This will be an opportunity for sponsors to meet current and potential rights-holding partners and the cities that will be hosting them and to understand the key themes and challenges facing future sporting events.

The 2022 Summit attracted over 60 federation members and 40 host cities. This is what they had to say:
“Amazing event with high level participants, excellent networking and very modern content” – Michel Cutait, Deputy Secretary General, World Obstacle
“It was extremely comprehensive and provided plenty of opportunities to meet other delegates as well as listen to a wide range of speakers and more importantly federations” – Stephen Joyce, Coordinator Business and Investment, City of Gold Coast
“The Summit was a great opportunity for hosts like Montreal both to present to and meet with a myriad of rights holders in meetings organised by MEI” – Veronique Riopel, Sports Market Manager, Tourisme Montreal
