Mass Participation World (MPW) was founded in 2016 in Singapore by industry veteran and author of Mass Participation Sports Events, Chris Robb, with the initial purpose of facilitating connection and collaboration across the various verticals of the industry through an annual conference.
In December 2024 the conference will celebrate the ninth edition when MPW24 will take place in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
MPW has now evolved to provide a number of other services to the industry including: creating global connections across the ecosystem, consulting and advising, advocacy, research and education.
In addition, Chris, who has now been in the industry for almost 40 years, is globally recognised as a thought leader and sought-after speaker and facilitator. He regularly hosts and helps curate World Athletics Webinars.
