The dates of the eagerly awaited IAKS Study Trip to Vancouver (Canada) are confirmed: Participants, sports facility operators and partners can look forward to highly informative site visits with eight high-calibre sports and leisure facilities in the Greater Vancouver area.
Like the trips in 2018 (Copenhagen, Denmark) and 2019 (Hamburg, Germany), the 2022 IAKS Study Trip promises to be a magnificent experience offering a wealth of background information, exclusive insights and international networking.
