Emanuel Macedo de Medeiros, SIGA Global CEO, sets the ambition for #SIW2022 at the highest level:

#SIW2022 is all about one main, powerful idea. An idea that translates SIGA’s vision and reformist spirit: ‘The Integrity (R)evolution – Supercharging Positive Change in and through Sport’. It is precisely with this purpose, in this critical moment, that SIGA is mobilising over 250 world-class leaders, senior executives and prominent experts to lead the way, and inspire, encourage and instigate the much-needed and long-overdue reforms in Sport and the wider industry. More than a global event, #SIW2022 is ‘the’ place where the most pressing challenges and cutting-edge issues will be addressed, and solutions will be forged. This is a unique moment to celebrate, together, Sport’s true values and what it can do, if played and governed with Integrity, for today’s fractured society and global economy. I look forward to seeing you there!”.
