AISTS is honored to announce the latest partnership with SportAccord for its upcoming continuing education program on Artificial Intelligence in Sport.
This collaboration includes an invitation for AISTS programme participants to join the Wednesday morning session of this year’s IF Forum, the annual event hosted by SportAccord that brings together leaders from international sports federations to discuss industry developments, challenges, and innovations.
These sessions are designed to equip managers and decision-makers with the knowledge and skills they need to keep their sports organizations at the forefront of innovation. By understanding the latest advancements in AI, we can collectively drive the industry forward with actionable solutions and strategic insight.
We are delighted to enter into this collaboration with AISTS, an initiative aimed at empowering IFs and the global sports community which is perfectly aligned with the IF Forum’s vision of equipping leaders with the necessary skills to navigate the evolving complexities of the sports industry, in this case with specialist education on the application of AI in sports.
