In a move that reflects its growing stature as Host  Country of International Sports Events, Sport Event Denmark has upgraded its sponsorship of the SportAccord Convention from Silver to Gold.

Following “The 2009 Danish Year of Sports” which has seen the country host the IOC Session & Olympic Congress amongst more than 50 other events,  Sport Event Denmark has further underlined its commitment to the international sports industry by augmenting its sponsorship of the SportAccord Convention to the highest level.

"Since 2003, The Sportaccord Convention has been our most important platform for networking and marketing. Our annual attendance has contributed considerably to our development and it is therefore natural that, after a classification as Sportaccord Bronze and later Silver sponsor, we have now become a Gold sponsor and, as such, we are looking forward to Dubai 2010 and London 2011" Lars Lundov, Chief Executive, Sport Event Denmark

“We congratulate Denmark on a very impressive list of ‘wins’ in the event hosting field in recent years and we hope that their success will continue.  Denmark’s dedication and ambition as a sporting city is second to none and we are delighted that they attribute some of their success to their involvement  in The SportAccord Convention – they have certainly made it work for them.  We are looking forward to assisting them as much as possible in their capacity as Gold Sponsors across the upcoming editions in Dubai and London”  Anna Hellman, Executive Director, The SportAccord Convention
