Since the first edition of the event, GSWParis has been organized under the High Patronage of Mr. Emmanuel Macron, President of the French Republic, as well as the Patronage of UNESCO.
In 2020, the inaugural international forum took place at the Carrousel du Louvre, and brought together more than 2,000 people over the span of 3 days. GSWParis has since established itself as the annual rendez-vous and privileged meeting place for organizations across the global ecosystem of sport, committed to accelerating its transformation.
