World Sailing's Development Symposium, an annual workshop for Member National Authorities to share and discuss training and development initiatives, will head to Auckland, New Zealand in 2018.
From 2-4 May 2018, The Spencer on Byron Hotel will host the first Development Symposium held in the Oceanic region. Previous hosts include Ireland, Argentina, South Africa, Singapore and the USA.
Held in collaboration with Yachting New Zealand and Oceanic Sailing, the Development Symposium directly compliments the work of World Sailing's Development and Regions Committee.
Since the Symposium's inception in 2012, each report helps World Sailing to gather valuable information on how its work can continue to develop, giving those delegates present from new or emerging nations a much-needed chance to have their voices heard.
The Symposium will be made up of interactive workshops, keynote speeches, and networking opportunities to enable delegates to gain a deeper understanding of worldwide development to help shape their national programs.
Topics on the 2018 World Sailing Development Symposium agenda include:
- Participation sailing vs performance sailing
- Access to participation sailing and performance sailing
- MNA analysis and strategic planning
- Marketing and promotion
- Volunteer engagement
- Learn to sail and education programmes
- Organisational funding
- High-performance coaching
- Race management
- Para World Sailing activities
The Symposium is open to all World Sailing MNAs and
registration is now open.
