Our vision is a healthy active world where the opportunities for active living are available to all. ISPAH aims to advance and promote physical activity as a global health priority through excellence in research, education, capacity building and advocacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ISPAH conducts a biennial Congress in even numbered years. It is organized by a Host Organization in collaboration with ISPAH. This document provides guidance on the main requirements for the organization of the ISPAH Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Purpose of the ISPAH Congress<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Society seeks to utilise the Congress to help achieve the Society\u2019s objectives which are to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Support communication of and excellence in research and practice on physical activity and public health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Develop capacity in research and practice on physical activity and public health worldwide<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lead advocacy actions to advance research and knowledge dissemination into policy and practice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Partner in global collaborations to advance physical activity and public health research and practice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Be a world leading global professional society for researchers and practitioners in physical activity and public health<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Congress will especially seek to:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-list-halo-bullet\">\n<li>Advance multidisciplinary and cross-cultural communication and collaboration among developed and developing countries on all aspects of the scientific study of physical activity and health, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Share innovative policy and programs that promote and engage people to be physically active and improve their health.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"strongpart-b-strong-strongorganisation-of-the-congress-strong\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\" id=\"part-b-organisation-of-the-congress-5\">Part B &#8211; Organisation of the Congress<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An agreement shall be made between ISPAH and the Host Organization of the country in which the Congress is to be held. The Host Organization must demonstrate that it has sufficient experience and capacity to organize the Congress. In partnership with ISPAH, the Host Organization is required to work with a Professional Congress Organizer (PCO). The PCO will be responsible for the organization, administration and all financial aspects of the Congress and for ensuring that Society and Congress standards can be safeguarded and maintained. All final decisions regarding the Congress will be made by the ISPAH Board, in collaboration with the Host Organization and the PCO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is essential that the aims and objectives of the Host Organization are consistent with those of ISPAH. It is desirable that the Host Organization is an academic institution or closely linked with an academic institution with expertise in physical activity and health. It is also desirable for the Host to have a track record in working with, or contributing to, the mission of the Society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is highly desirable that the Host Organization will look to leverage the opportunity of hosting the Congress to further national actions on physical activity and plan for a Congress legacy. The Host Organization is strongly encouraged to collaborate with relevant interested stakeholders across government, non-government, academia and civil society to secure the maximum impact and benefit from hosting the Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Host Organization and ISPAH will establish an Organizing Committee which will oversee logistics and planning of the Congress in partnership with the PCO, such as contracting a venue, managing logistics including audio-visual services, and event management. In collaboration with ISPAH, a Scientific Committee will also be established which will be responsible for the organization of the scientific program of the Congress. The Host Organization will work closely with ISPAH and the PCO for the successful and efficient conduct of both the Organizing Committee and the Scientific Committee. The composition and leadership of these Committees, including roles and responsibilities of ISPAH and the Host Organization will be documented, in the agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"strongpart-c-strong-strongstructure-of-the-congress-strong\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\" id=\"part-c-structure-of-the-congress-6\">Part C &#8211; Structure of the Congress<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official language of the Congress will be English.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Congress should contain combinations of the following session formats:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-list-halo-bullet\">\n<li>Opening Ceremony<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plenary Sessions \/ Invited Lectures<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free Paper Sessions (concurrent across multiple themes)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Poster Display Sessions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Symposia (invited or identified from submitted abstracts)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Closing Ceremony<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other possibilities (non-mandatory) include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-list-halo-bullet\">\n<li>Workshops \/ Tutorial Sessions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Round Table Discussions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Early morning breakfast tutorials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Specific Additional Requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ISPAH Board Meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the Congress, ISPAH will hold a face-to-face Board meeting, usually on the day before the Congress opening. The meeting will be a minimum of a half day and could be up to a full day in duration. The Host Organization is requested to help arrange this meeting and venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ISPAH Biennial Business Meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the Congress, the society will hold its biennial business meeting. This meeting will take place at a time when no other sessions are being held and when attendance is likely to be maximised. The Host Organization is requested to help arrange this 90-minute meeting and venue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Opportunity for meetings or symposia of ISPAH\u2019s Councils and Partners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the Congress each of ISPAH\u2019s Councils and partners should be given an opportunity within the programme to meet with its members and\/or hold a symposium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Social Program<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Host Organization and Organizing Committee are responsible for suggesting potential venues and themes for the social functions during the Congress, as well as a range of physical activity opportunities. The Host Organization and Organizing Committee will work with the PCO and ISPAH to manage the logistics of the events. Organizers are encouraged to propose events which will allow delegates and guests to experience the culture of the host region. Examples of previous activities include formal dinners, music and dancing, led walks, \u2018fun\u2019 runs and performing arts performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Optional workshops<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ISPAH aims to ensure that delegates maximize their experience while at the Congress. This may be facilitated by offering optional workshops or symposiums on the days before or after the Congress. The Board will particularly favor bids that offer workshops or other opportunities to early career delegates, and these events can be supported by the ISPAH Early Career Network. <strong><br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"strongpart-d-strong-strongfacilities-strong\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\" id=\"part-d-facilities-7\">Part D &#8211; Facilities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following details should be regarded as guidelines and may be modified according to local needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Location<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The site proposed for the ISPAH Congress should be located in a readily accessible area, and within easy distance of an international airport which should be served by both public and private transport. When selecting the Host Organisation, careful consideration will be given to the cost of traveling to and staying at the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Accommodation\/Lodging<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Congress venue should be in close proximity to adequate hotel accommodation. The Host Organization should provide proposals from various hotel properties which will serve as the Congress hotel room block. Various facilities differing in price and services should be available, with at least some options within walking\/city cycling distance to the venue. The Host Organization, in collaboration with the PCO, will conduct final negotiations with the hotel properties and be responsible for the management of the hotel room blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Venue Facilities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following facilities are recommended to adequately host the Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A. Opening Ceremony and Plenary Sessions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seating capacity for approximately 1,000 delegates in a theatre-style hall with large-screen projection capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>B. Parallel Session Rooms<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Facilities should be available that allow for the holding of 4-8 concurrent sessions that can accommodate the total number of delegates. Ideally these sessions will take place in relatively equal sized rooms, with careful consideration given to the seating capacity and seating configuration for the types of sessions planned. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>C. Poster Space<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adequate space for poster sessions (either electronic or hard copy) should be arranged along with the necessary boards for mounting posters (if hard copy format is opted for). The programme and space should allow for 600-700 posters across the event (e.g., at least 200 posters per day for a 3-day event).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>D. Registration Space<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The registration space should be readily accessible throughout the Congress and be of sufficient size and configuration to allow for the smooth registration of all delegates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>E. ISPAH Meeting Room<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ISPAH will require a meeting room\/office that can accommodate up to 18 people that should be available exclusively to the ISPAH Board throughout the Congress.

Future Congress Promotion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An exhibit space for the next Congress should be available to promote attendance and provide information about the next biennial Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>I. Exhibition Area<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exhibits featuring the latest products and programs about physical activity and health add to the educational value of the Congress. The Host Organization and venue must provide for an exhibition area in close proximity to the educational sessions. Refreshments should be served in or near the exhibit area during scheduled refreshment breaks. The Organizing Committee is responsible for determining hours of operation and viewing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>J. Lunch and Break Facilities<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There should be adequate eating facilities for lunch during the Congress that permit all delegates to eat within a reasonable time period and in a comfortable setting. This may be provided through on-site catering or through the recommendation of off-site catering establishments within close proximity of the venue. This provision should cater for a range of dietary requirements. Beverages should be provided for morning and afternoon breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>K. Information and Communications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A wi-fi internet service should be provided within the Congress venue, and if at all possible, this should be provided free or at reduced costs to delegates within the Congress center. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>L. Carbon Footprint<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ISPAH is committed to reducing the environmental and carbon footprint of its congresses. Measures should be taken, wherever possible, to minimize the carbon emissions associated with the Congress. This may include the use of renewable energy sources; heating, cooling, lighting, and ventilation efficiency measures; and building energy performance ratings or standards.<strong><br><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"strongpart-e-strong-stronglogistics-strong\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\" id=\"part-e-logistics-8\">Part E &#8211; Logistics<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Website<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ISPAH will develop and manage a secure Congress website, including abstract submission system and registration portal, accessible through the main ISPAH website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispah.tecology-hosting.co\">www.ispah.tecology-hosting.co<\/a>. The cost of the website, abstract submission system and registration portal shall be included in the Congress budget. The Host will provide relevant content and imagery for inclusion in the Congress website when requested and in a timely manner. The website will go live no later than 15 months prior to the Congress.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Online registration of delegates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ISPAH will manage registration of delegates through its dedicated Congress website. The Host and PCO will work with the Chair of the ISPAH Communications Committee and the Director of IT Systems to finalize the delegate registration form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Congress outline program should be finalized before registration is launched to ensure delegates can sign up for all available sessions and activities that require pre-registration (e.g., ECN workshop, Council meetings, and social activities). There should be an option for delegates to indicate their main area of interest specific to the themes\/sessions decided by the Scientific Committee so as to organize appropriate room sizes.There should be an option for delegates to provide social media handles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Branding <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ISPAH Communications Committee will be responsible for developing all Congress marketing materials in line with the ISPAH Branding Guidelines. The Host and PCO will provide all required content to the ISPAH Communications Committee (such as information about the Host, venue and location, country specific imagery in suitable formats, and keynote biographies) when requested and in a timely manner. Any imagery provided must not breach copyright law and should be of sufficient quality to display on digital and print marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Communication strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ISPAH Communications Committee, with support from the Host and PCO, will prepare a Congress communications strategy no later than 12 months prior to the Congress. The plan will include email marketing, newsletters and social media posts. The ISPAH Communications Committee will be responsible for formatting and disseminating all congress communications outlined in the plan. The Host is responsible for providing the required content to the ISPAH Communications Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All social media posts will be communicated via the ISPAH social media accounts in collaboration with the ISPAH Communications Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All marketing and communications should be GDPR compliant as ISPAH is an international organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"strongpart-f-strong-strongfinancial-terms-strong\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\" id=\"part-f-financial-terms-9\">Part F &#8211; Financial Terms<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SPAH and the Host Organizations will negotiate the arrangements for the underwriting of the Congress. The preferred arrangement is that ISPAH will underwrite 75% of the Congress costs, and the Host is expected underwrite the remaining 25%. Bids that have secured funding support, either internally or from external agencies, will be viewed favorably. All financial contributors to the Congress must comply with ISPAH\u2019s partnerships and sponsorship policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the EOI, potential Host Organizations are asked to provide an indicative budget. This budget should include the proposed venue, catering, venue AV and any ticketed social events. Following an agreement, ISPAH, the Host Organization and the PCO will work closely to develop a preliminary budget for the Congress including registration fees for delegates (typically differential rates for low, middle and high-income countries), catering, keynote speaker fee waiver and expenses, expected sponsorship, fees for exhibitors, advertising, expendables such as delegate badges, and costs of social activities. The budget should include registration fee waiver for all ISPAH Board members including the Secretariat (14-18 delegate places). We also encourage the hosts to waiver the delegate fee for members of the Scientific and Organizing committees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Registration rates for ISPAH members should be significantly lower than non-member rates, with the aim of incentivizing delegates to become ISPAH members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An administration fee of $50 (USD) should be factored into the delegate fee and paid to ISPAH for administrative services provided, including website development, support with branding, and advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any profit from the Congress will be distributed in proportions with the underwriting agreement. E.g., where ISPAH is underwriting 75% of the Congress and the Host 25%, ISPAH will retain 75% of any profit; the Host Organization will receive the remaining 25%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"strongpart-h-strong-strongselection-process-strong\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\" id=\"part-g-selection-process-10\">Part G &#8211; Selection Process<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Expressions of Interest<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The call for EOI is conducted at least 2 and preferably 3-4 years prior to the year of the Congress under consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Selection of Host Organisation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All EOI\u2019s for hosting the Congress will be reviewed by the ISPAH Board. Final selection of the Host Organization will be decided by a majority vote of the ISPAH Board. There will be a minimum quorum present at the time of voting. Members of the Board will declare any conflict of interest prior to the voting. If required, the President-Elect will cast the deciding vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All applicants will be notified of the decision as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The preferred Host Organization must provide a written acceptance and proceed to establish a written and signed Memorandum of Understanding with ISPAH to secure the hosting of the Congress. If a Memorandum of Understanding is not finalised within a reasonable timeframe, ISPAH reserves the right to withdraw the offer to Host the Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-2-background-color has-background\" id=\"strongpart-i-strong-strongsummary-of-congress-roles-and-responsibilities-strong\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\" id=\"part-h-summary-of-congress-roles-and-responsibilities-11\">Part H &#8211; Summary of Congress Roles and Responsibilities<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Suggested organizational structure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Organizing\/Leadership Committee (oversight and strategic decision making &#8211; with representation from ISPAH, PCO and the local team)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scientific Committee \u2013 responsible for developing programme content (led by the local team, with representation from ISPAH as co-chair)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>PCO \u2013 responsible for logistics<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indicative roles and responsibilities are outlined below, with final arrangements outlined in the signed agreement between ISPAH and the Host Organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>ISPAH will:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-list-halo-bullet\">\n<li>Have final decision-making power<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Appoint a representative to Co-Chair the Scientific Committee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Develop and host a Congress website, abstract submission system, registration portal and any required email accounts, to support the technical management of the congress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lead the creation of all Congress marketing and communications in line with ISPAH\u2019s Branding Guidelines, including emails, social media posts and newsletter entries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Disseminate marketing and promotional materials via ISPAH\u2019s communication channels in line with a congress communications strategy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Host will:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-list-halo-bullet\">\n<li>Convene a Scientific Committee to develop the Congress programme.
