The 3rd Commonwealth Sports Development Conference was held in the Mitchell Library, Glasgow on Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th June 2010. The theme of this inspiring and interactive event was Achieving Sustainable Development - Building capacity in Communities, Clubs and NGOs.

This was an invaluable opportunity for Sport Practitioners, Policy Makers and various types of Funders to come together to explore issues of vital importance in delivering sports-for-development and sports development programmes worldwide.
Commonwealth Games Associations (CGA) worldwide also attended the conference, ahead of the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games, and provided a superb opportunity for discussions on international issues and programmes.
