2020 Global Sport Summit Suspended Until Further Notice
Due to the health concerns associated with the COVID-19 outbreak, we are suspending the 2020 Global Sport Summit until further notice. The safety and well-being of our attendees, speakers, and staff are our top priority.
In the past week, we have seen the immense impact that the Coronavirus has had on sport and the world at large. As we adjust plans to potentially move the summit and the topics around Sport & The Body, we will also be taking into consideration how we thoughtfully include these current events into our next conversations and programming. Our team is also working on ways in which we can engage with you in virtual formats, until it is clear and safe to physically reconvene.
We will continue to monitor the situation under the guidance issued by ASU Health Services, the World Health Organization (WHO), U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and local authorities.
We will send notifications once our next updates have been confirmed. Registration will remain free of cost and open if you would like to reserve your space for a rescheduled date and/or alternative programming.
In the meantime, we will continue to share knowledge and insights through the Global Sport Institute, as well as on our Global Sport Matters channels. Thank you for your support as we navigate this unique situation.
We encourage you to become familiar with the suggested safety precautions from the WHO, CDC, Maricopa County Health Department, and ASU Health Services which include:
- Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds and use an alcohol based hand sanitizer.
- When coughing and sneezing, cover the mouth and nose with flexed elbow or tissue – discard tissue immediately into a closed bin.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Travelers from Level 2 or 3 countries should self-isolate at their home or an off-campus residence for 14 days and monitor their symptoms before returning to campus. If symptoms occur, individuals should seek medical attention.
- If you are feeling ill, please call your healthcare provider for medical advice.
