Massimiliano Montanari, CEO, ICSS said;

“Securing Sport has been conceived to bring together all our allies and to stimulate the future work of the ICSS. The 2020 edition aims at opening the conversation about the new realms of this rapidly changing world and how we need to be more resilient in our fight for protecting the integrity of sport. This event gives inspiration to the ICSS regarding the general work objectives and future endeavors in safeguarding sport as a common good for humankind. I look forward for thought leaders coming together next few days to analyse some of the most pressing current challenges facing the world of sport”

Welcoming the media, Saleh Salem Al Eida, Special Advisory, Strategy and Partnership Development, ICSS said;
