According to the speaker, the sports component in the activity of ExpoForum International is developing dynamically and is aimed at attracting large-scale projects and shows: “We offer world-class products and services: unique events, positive experience and productive contacts. We are working closely with sports clubs, federations and associations; together with our partners, we develop ideas and strategies that allow our customers to achieve their goals”.

This year, ExpoForum International won the tender and became the operator for the 2016 Ice Hockey World Championship, the St. Petersburg leg. The event was attended by the national teams of 16 countries and St. Petersburg hosted 30 games, welcoming more than 5,000 spectators at each game. However, this is not the first experience of holding sports events: in 2013, the company held the SportAccord event successfully, the campaign “I Choose Sports” is held annually, as well as the Hipposphere competitions in equestrian sports, Zooshow canine sports event and the Governor’s Cup in Dance Sports.

Sports offer opportunities for the new EXPOFORUM Convention and Exhibition Centre: one pavilion (there are three) can host more than 5 thousand people (special sectional bleachers have been bought), the ceilings reach 18 metres, the mounting gates are 8 metres, the site can be equipped with all the necessary facilities from the training arena to the massage rooms.

We are currently negotiating with the sports federations and discussing proposals for holding such events as Show Jumping World Cup, Indoor Trial World Cup, as well as aqua biking, fencing and extreme sports competitions. ExpoForum received a Certificate of Compliance as a multi-purpose sports facility. The Convention and Exhibition Centre is included in the Russian Register of Sports Facilities of the Ministry of Sports of the Russian Federation. The facility can host competitions in 77 sports.
