The world stopped moving during the Covid-19 pandemic, but now is the time to reconnect and reignite the sectors that help us all to be more physically active and healthy. The MOVE Congress is a dynamic global event for stakeholders in grassroots sport, physical activity, health and wellbeing, where participants walk the walk and get a huge dose of inspiration from some of the world’s thought leaders.

The MOVE Congress 2021 starts today, 17 November at 7pm CET at Tour & Taxis in Brussels!

More than 300 participants will jump, dance and play their way through the conference, which kicks off on Wednesday, 17 November, at 7pm CET in the iconic Maison de la Poste, part of the Tour & Taxis venue in Brussels, and concludes on Friday 19 November.

They will hear from 64 world-class speakers and facilitators, including:

• Khalida Popal from Girl Power Organisation, with her powerful personal story on how sport can help refugees
• Magid Magid, Former Lord Mayor of Sheffield, MEP and Founder of Union of Justice, UK, a human rights and climate activist
• Lars AP, founder of the “F***ing Friendly” movement in Denmark

With a grand opening ceremony and awards show on the 17th, enticing keynote speakers, workshops, masterclasses and a LOT of activity and fun, the MOVE Congress will live up to its name and make participants and the world MOVE again!
