IAKS webinar series on sustainability: Recordings out now

Sessions in October and November well received

The first IAKS webinar series on "sustainability" marked a resounding success. We were thrilled by the enthusiastic participation, especially from IAKS members worldwide. Some dedicated attendees even joined live sessions at 4 a.m., overcoming time zone challenges to engage with the content. The recordings are available free of charge for all IAKS members.

A dynamic start: Sustainability day

On October 30, the webinar series launched with the “IAKS sustainability day," a four-hour session packed with expert insights. Five distinguished speakers from the IAKS network shared the latest developments and best practices in their respective fields. This free event aimed to spark interest in key topics and inspire participants to delve deeper into sustainability.

Four interactive follow-up webinars

Building on the success of the IAKS sustainability day, the series continued with four interactive webinars, each led by one of our expert speakers. These sessions allowed participants to explore specific topics in greater depth and provided ample time for questions and discussions. With around 20 participants per webinar and additional input from panelists within the IAKS network, the sessions fostered vibrant exchanges and valuable insights.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the experts who made this pilot webinar series possible: Prof. Alastair Cox, Marc Downing, Mike Hall, and David Jarratt. Their time, expertise, and engaging presentations were instrumental in bringing this project to life.

Looking ahead: The road to 2025 IAKS CONGRESS

As we gear up for the IAKS congress in October 2025, two more webinar series are on the horizon. These will focus on "inclusive design" and "innovation," offering a preview of the topics covered at the IAKS congress, shaping sports and leisure facility construction. Through these interactive sessions, we aim to foster collaborative thinking, improve industry practices, and explore innovative solutions for the future.

We can’t wait to welcome you to the next webinar and continue this exciting journey towards the 2025 IAKS Congress!
