REMINDER: Register now for WADA’s 2024 Global Education Conference in Cannes

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) would like to remind stakeholders to register for its 2024 Global Education Conference (GEC), which will be held on 27-29 February 2024 at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, France, in partnership with France’s National Anti-Doping Organization, l’Agence française de lutte contre le dopage (AFLD). 

The Conference 

The 2024 GEC will foster networking and collaboration and will use a mix of plenary and breakout sessions to introduce innovative problem-solving strategies; engage participants on their education programs; and explore current topics in clean sport education.  

You can read detailed information on the Conference sessions in the program and learn about the speakers here. The 2024 GEC will also include a poster presentation session on social science research (SSR) projects related to clean sport. We invite interested participants to refer to the Call for Abstracts for further information. 

Social Science Research (SSR) Symposium 

In conjunction with the Conference, WADA will be hosting an SSR Symposium on 27 February 2024 at the Université Côte d'Azur. The main goal of the Symposium is to encourage discussion and collaboration within the SSR community on wider research issues, such as working with practitioner partners, multidisciplinary research, and recruitment of athletes.  

Registration 

Should you wish to register for the Conference and/or the SSR Symposium, we invite you to do so here by 18 February 2024. Further details concerning the Conference, including how to book your hotel accommodation, are available on the 2024 GEC website.
