All Member Associations / delegates / participants should have completed these tasks – please check that you have received confirmation for 1 and 2 below.

Accommodation – booked accommodation at the official hotel – Traders KLCC – and received confirmation on your stay.
Arrival / Departure Information – told us your travel details for arrival. When you did this, you would have received a confirmation of the information you provided.

Contact Patricia if you need assistance on either of these above – [email protected]

Transport – we have arranged for transport to pick you up at KL International Airport (either KLIA 1 or KLIA 2) when you arrive, and to take you back to the airport when you leave.

More information on this process will be sent next week.

Travel Insurance – we strongly recommend purchasing your own travel insurance.

The AGM page on the BWF website (linked here) has all the information for participants – the agenda, meeting papers, annual report and audited financial statements.

Council Proposal to the AGM – Vetting Rules 2023

A guide to the BWF Council proposal is available in three languages (English, French and Spanish) on the BWF website (linked here).

The Proposal is Item 4.2 on the AGM Agenda. This is an important proposal and it is quite complex, so the guide is there to help delegates understand the proposal and how this will improve existing Vetting Rules.

We have also prepared a video presentation in three languages (linked here).

Members Forum Programme

Innovation and Change – new opportunities – better practices

It’s been 10 years since BWF last hosted a Forum and AGM in Kuala Lumpur. Over the past decade there has been extraordinary development and change for both BWF and the sport.

The BWF Members’ Forum 2023 is an opportunity to look at where we are and what we have achieved, and where we want to be as a sport in 10 years’ time.

Next year on 5 July 2024, BWF will celebrate its 90^th birthday, and there are 10 years before its 100^th anniversary.

Looking long term and identifying key projects, priorities and outcomes will be a focus for the Members’ Forum.
