Sports Leadership Symposium
Employers in Sports—Roles, Responsibilities, and the Courage to Build the Workplace of the Future: That is the theme for 2026. Do you want to become a better employer where people feel comfortable, thrive, and perform at their best? Just like athletes, managers also need to train to improve and grow—in their leadership, in their role as employers, and as fellow human beings.
Ahmed Berhan ( host of the TV show *Immigrants for Swedes*, among other things) will open the event with a reflection on Swedish leadership and cultural differences. Anja Pärson, Olympic gold medalist, will give an inspirational talk on the courage to become the best version of myself. The day will then continue with a panel discussion, workshops, reflection, and hands-on sessions. This year’s leadership symposium is being held in collaboration with the Employers’ Alliance.
Purpose
The purpose is to provide a forum for leaders and managers to learn about current research and to pool their resources to address the challenges and opportunities of leadership. Theory and practice are combined so that participants can quickly apply what they learn in their daily work.
Who is the symposium for?
The Leadership Symposium is aimed at those in leadership positions—whether as elected officials, managers, executive directors, or others with strategic responsibilities. The symposium addresses current issues in leadership and organization within civil society, with a particular focus on sports. The goal is to strengthen managers and leaders within the sports movement.
