World Aquatic Development Conference

10/02/2026

We are sorry - WADC will not take place in 2027. After seven successful editions since 2012, we’re taking a pause to regroup, rethink, and build something even stronger for the future.

We hope to return in 2028 — refreshed, improved, and ready to bring the aquatic community together again.

SportAdmin på World Aquatic Development Conference! 🌊

I helgen deltog vi som utställare på World Aquatic Development Conference, en konferens fylld av spännande samtal och kunskapsutbyte kring utvecklingen inom vattenidrott. Vi är glada över möjligheten att ha fått träffa så många engagerade föreningsutvecklare, ledare och tränare, samt dela våra insikter om hur vi kan göra föreningslivet enklare och mer effektivt!

Ett stort tack till SK Poseidon och alla som tog sig tid att prata med oss – vi ser fram emot nästa gång!
