After three days of interactive content, inspirational talks, live demos and award celebrations all centered around the theme of innovation, the Beyond Sport Summit & Awards 2016 has come to a close.

As the largest global event convening the world of sport for social change, we were joined at the eighth annual Beyond Sport Summit by teams, leagues, federations, brands, corporates, NGOs and development organisations from around the world as they shared best practice, celebrated outstanding efforts and developed new partnerships.

This year's Summit took delegates on a journey to experience different pieces of innovation that can be combined with sport to help create cutting-edge solutions to tackle some of the most pressing social issues affecting the world today. From accessibility to disability, to sport start-ups, to celebrating best practice on the big stage during the Awards, one thing became evident throughout the event: Innovation works best with collaboration.
