2025 World Sailing Annual Conference gets underway in Dún Laoghaire, Ireland

2025年世界帆船联合会年会在爱尔兰邓莱里拉开帷幕

The conference brings together the sport’s key stakeholders — including Member National Authorities (MNAs), Class Associations, sailors, event organisers, and marine industry representatives — for a crucial week of meetings culminating in the World Sailing Council meeting and the General Assembly on 8 November.

本届年会汇聚了帆船运动的核心参与者——包括会员国管理机构、级别协会、运动员、赛事主办方及海洋产业代表——将举行为期一周的关键会议，最终于11月8日召开世界帆船理事会会议和全体大会。

This year’s conference is pivotal, with a packed agenda focused on innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity. Key decisions will be made on the strategic direction of sailing, including Olympic sailing, advancements in the Para Inclusive Strategy, and the progression of the Sustainability Agenda 2030.

今年的年会具有里程碑意义，围绕创新、可持续性与包容性三大主题设置了紧凑议程。会议将就帆船运动的战略发展方向作出关键决策，涵盖奥运帆船项目、《残障融合战略》推进进程以及《2030可持续发展议程》的实施路径。

David Graham, CEO of World Sailing, said, “The Annual Conference is the most important week in our calendar, where the global sailing family comes together to collectively steer the future of our sport. This is a special occasion to champion our successes, speak openly about challenges, and create new opportunities for growth. We are thrilled to be back in Dún Laoghaire, a town with a rich sailing heritage, to make the critical decisions that will impact sailing at every level.”

世界帆船联合会首席执行官大卫·格雷厄姆表示："年度会议是我们日程中最重要的活动，全球帆船大家庭在此齐聚一堂，共同引领这项运动的未来。这个特殊时刻让我们能够弘扬成就、坦诚探讨挑战、开创发展新机遇。很高兴能重返航海传统悠久的邓莱里，作出将影响各层级帆船运动的重要决策。"

A significant outcome of this year’s conference will be the election of two new Vice Presidents to the World Sailing Board. These elections are set to achieve a major milestone for the federation, resulting in a 50/50 gender split on the Board with four male and four female Vice Presidents.

本届年会的重要成果将是选举产生世界帆船联合会理事会的两位新任副主席。此次选举将成为该组织的重要里程碑，实现理事会副主席职位性别均衡——四位男性与四位女性副主席共同履职。

Councillor Jim Gildea, An Cathaoirleach of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, said, “We are proud to welcome the global sailing community back to Dún Laoghaire. This conference reflects our town’s enduring connection to the sea and our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and inclusivity in sport.”

邓莱里-拉斯当郡议会主席吉姆·吉尔迪议员表示："我们自豪地欢迎全球帆船界重返邓莱里。这次会议彰显了我们城镇与海洋的深厚渊源，以及对体育创新、可持续发展和包容性的坚定承诺。"

Hosted by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and Irish Sailing, the event is a welcome return to the Irish town, which last hosted the conference in 2012.

本次会议由邓莱里-拉斯当郡议会与爱尔兰帆船协会联合主办，标志着这项盛会时隔十三年再度回归这座爱尔兰城镇——上次在此举办可追溯至2012年。

The week will also feature the prestigious World Sailing Awards and will conclude with the 2025 Development Symposium.

会议周期间还将举行备受瞩目的世界帆船年度奖项颁奖礼，并以2025年发展研讨会作为压轴活动。

Open sessions of the conference will be streamed live on the World Sailing YouTube channel, allowing the global sailing community to follow the discussions.
