TAFISA World Congress

The Congress is more than just a conference - it is a global gathering of changemakers, thought leaders, and practitioners committed to building a better world through Sport for All. Over the course of four days, participants engage in:

• High-level plenary sessions
• Interactive workshops and debates
• Cultural and community events
• Networking with global peers

From government officials and sport federations to youth leaders and grassroots organizations, the Congress creates an inclusive platform for dialogue, learning, and collaboration - and celebrates the global solidarity and the transformative power of Sport for All.

Trim and Fitness (the predecessor to TAFISA) Conferences began in Oslo, Norway, in 1969 and took place every two years. The TAFISA World Congresses have been held across the globe since 1991, bringing together world-renowned experts, researchers, practitioners, decision-makers, national and local representatives across all continents to discuss, debate and experience the latest the Sport for All Movement has to offer, and determine its future direction. The events are unparalleled opportunities to network, learn, and, of course, enjoy a social programme unique to the location.
