Originally launched in 2003, this year's SportAccord International Convention will see more than 1,500 representatives from across the international sporting world gather for the week-long event which is due to run from April 6 to 11 at the Susesi Convention Centre in Belek.

Delegate passes will be priced at CHF 2,500 (£1,680/$2,769/€2,026) from February 1 once the early booking offer ends.

The 2014 Convention will consist of congresses and general assemblies of more than 100 international sports federations, with sponsors, host and bid cities of international sporting events, architects, sports lawyers, broadcasters and Games Organising Committees also attending to discuss key issues affecting the industry.

Among the highlights of this year's Convention will be the "Rule-Breakers and Game-Changers" interactive session where attendees can debate what they would do if they could change the rules of one sport, while "The Youth Club" will take a look at what today's young people really think about sport and how they consume it.
