It's a wrap: Impulse Summit 2022
We are excited to have held the 5th edition of our annual Impulse Summit on November 3rd & 4th, 2022 in St. Gallen. Here, we provided a platform for intergenerational, international, and interdisciplinary dialogue to shape the future of the sports industry.
We want to thank the Federal Office of Sports FOSPO for their efforts in co-organizing our flagship event. Their continuous support since the foundation of our initiative has allowed us to put roots down in Switzerland.
Our Format
Intergenerational Dialogue at heart.
In our interactive platform, we united 200 leaders from in and around the industry with 50 selected Global Talents. Our Global Talents were invited to Switzerland for a 5-day program ending with the Impulse Summit at SQUARE and WBZ. Here, our experts and Global Talents challenged the status quo of the sports industry in interactive formats.

"I was impressed being here today, that it is very professional. It is very well run. There are a lot of people who are really interested, so it is good to be affiliated."
Olaf Swantee

Benjamin Stoll
Director Technology & Innovation, FIFA
