Keynote Description

World Sailing CEO, David Graham and Senior Management Team present The Past, Present and Future: The Path for World Sailing.

Don’t miss the highlights from the year and a glimpse at what is still to come. There will be updates from Training and Development, Sustainability, Commercial, Marketing & Communications, Technical and Offshore and from our major events including the latest from Paris 2024, LA28.

The goal of this session is to set the stage and inform all delegates, allowing for scheduled meetings to maximise in-person time for agenda points and discussion.
