Dear Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to Festival of AI, High Performance in Sport, Health and Longevity & 15th ISPAS World Congress of Performance Analysis of Sport 2026 to be held in Split, Croatia, from 12 to 15 May 2026, at the Radisson Blu Resort hotel. The event is organized by the Adriatic Regional Science Centre at the Centre of Excellence of Split-Dalmatia County and the European Institute for Talents, Education, Research and Development, incooperation with the International Association of Performance Analysis in Sport (ISPAS) and other partner institutions, within the framework of the City of Split project Science Comes in Town  

Split is internationally recognized as one of the most sporting cities in the world. Despite itsrelatively small population, athletes from Split have collectively won more than 100 Olympic medals across 13 different sports—an achievement matched by very few cities worldwide.  This extraordinary concentration of elite performance is the result of a deeply rooted sporting culture, strong club systems, and a long-standing integration of sport, education, and science. Together with its growing academic and research infrastructure, this makes Split a natural and authentic setting for global discussions on high performance, innovation, and the future of sport and health.

The aim of the event is to connect the scientific community, experts, athletes, companies, sports professionals and educational institutions in a shared mission of preserving and enhancing health and improving sports performance, with an emphasis on modern technologies, para sport, adapted physical activity, health, longevity and quality of life.

The programme includes: workshops, round tables, presentations by national and international speakers from all continents (>>>link), publication of the conference proceedings, presentations of modern technologies, etc.
