This new IAAF initiative will take place on 7 August 2013 at the Crowne Plaza Convention Centre in Moscow.
The forum will kick off with a morning plenary session including an external perspective of the current environment, trends, opportunities and challenges for sport and Athletics, a presentation of the new 2013-2016 IAAF Strategic Plan, and a focus on latest evolutions in IAAF Competitions and building partnerships within and outside the Olympic movement.

Seven speakers and 17 panellists, each from a different country, will provide expert and diverse perspectives and insights from both inside and outside the Athletics Family. They aim to engage with Congress Delegates and set the stage for the participative discussions.

In addition to getting a full picture of the main opportunities and challenges ahead, the IAAF World Athletics Forum will allow participants the chance to react and share ideas and experiences with counterparts from other delegations, offering the Athletics Family a unique opportunity to share best practices and anticipate the future of our sport.
