Registration Rush for Forum and General Assembly

27 | 8 | 2015

The World Olympians Forum (WOF) and General Assembly has attracted a high level of interest amongst Olympians and members of the Olympic Family. In less than a week 31 National Olympians Associations (NOAs) have registered to attend the inaugural Forum and General Assembly which are taking place in Moscow on 20-22 October.

The WOF will bring together key Olympic, sporting and non-governmental stakeholders to celebrate Olympism, share best practices and discuss the issues of greatest concern to Olympians.

The WOA General Assembly on 21 October 2015 will include WOA Executive Committee elections and discussion on constitutional changes.

Among the first to register were the NOAs of Monaco, Madagascar, Ivory Coast, Denmark, Zimbabwe, Great Britain, Argentina, Costa Rica, India and Dominica with more joining every day.

In order to register your NOA, NOA Presidents must complete this online form which asks for details of the lead representative from the NOA.  The lead representative must have the full authority of their NOA to vote at the General Assembly and must be an Olympian. All registrations will be verified before attendance can be confirmed by the WOA.

The deadline for registration is 6 September 2015.

The WOA will cover the expenses of the lead representative to attend the Forum and General Assembly including economy class travel costs. An additional representative is welcome to attend at their own expense or the expense of the NOA.

Please note that this registration is the beginning of the invitation process. Once registered, attendees will be contacted with further requests for information and will be given additional information about the WOF and General Assembly along with details on travel bookings and the visa process.

Please contact info@thewoa.org with any questions.
