The 2007 ISAF Annual Conference, previously scheduled to take place in Athens, Greece, will be held in Estoril, Portugal at the Palacio Hotel and the adjoining Vila Galé Estoril. The Conference, held in ISAF's Centenary Year, will take place from 2-11 November and include the ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year Awards and the launch of the ISAF Sailing Hall of Fame.

On Tuesday 6 November, the ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year Awards will be presented at a gala dinner celebrating the achievements of the nominees.

In its centenary year, ISAF will be launching a Sailing Hall of Fame at the Annual Conference.

Around the meeting rooms the principle debate is likely to focus around the selection of the ten events for the 2012 Olympic Sailing Competition.

About The ISAF Annual Conference

Every year the ISAF Annual Conference brings together the leading figures from the sailing world to discuss, debate and decide upon the key issues in the sport of sailing.

The ISAF Committees, Sub-committees and Commissions all have the opportunity to debate all the issues in their respective areas. Based on these discussions they will then make recommendations to the ISAF Council, which is the final decision making body of ISAF. The Conference concludes with three days of Council meetings, when the major decisions which affect sailing's future will be made.
