2014 SportAccord IF Forum WDSF President Carlos Freitag and Eva Bartunkova, the chair of the WDSF Equality Commission, were present when delegations of more than 100 sports governing bodies met for the 2014 IF Forum in Lausanne, SUI, from 3 to 5 November. Organised by SportAccord, the International Federations' (IF) Union, the annual forum provides the IF leadership with valuable insights into all aspects of sports governance.

This year the focus was on "Innovation and Technology" and speakers from IF ranks and sports industry elaborated on topics such as "Innovative TV," "Data Standardisation" and "Software Empowering IF Activities."
