The Hong Kong Sport & Sustainability Summit 2026 will once again take place in a jam-packed Hong Kong Sevens Week and be held over two days at Centricity, Chater House, Landmark, Central, from 14-15 April.
This is the third-year edition of the Sport & Sustainability Summit, and the organisers, Hong Kong Rugby For Good, said, “This isn’t a passive conference. It’s an action lab. Over two days, we bring together the people who make sport happen – funders, practitioners, corporate partners, community builders – to co‑create a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient Hong Kong through sport.”
Rocky Chow, Executive Director of Rugby For Good, said online, “The Hong Kong Sport and Sustainability Summit returns with an amazing lineup of speakers and thought-provoking topics. This two-half-day summit, taking place during the week of the Cathay/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens, is not to be missed.”
The main theme for the 2026 edition is “What is my role in building this legacy?”
