The SportAccord Convention bills itself as the "World Sport & Business Summit" and it is just that: an encompassing gathering of all organisations and industries that govern and deal with sports. This year it is held in Sochi, RUS, at facilties that were built for the 2014 Winter Olympics.
The World DanceSport Federation is represented by First Vice-President Lukas Hinder and Sports Director Marco Sietas.

It ended with the elections of new members to the SportAccord and ARISF Councils.
