DirectRooms.com – Sport and Society Conference 2011 to be Held in Kolkata from 28 February

Kolkata, India, December 24, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Kolkata was selected to host the event because it is amongst the host cities for the Cricket World Cup in 2011. This means that visitors to the event will be immersed in the atmosphere of the tournament.

The dates of the conference also coincide with the India vs England match, which will go on at the famous Eden Gardens Stadium.

The 2011 International Conference on Sport and Society will address a number of important issues related to sport and society with leading thinkers and practitioners speaking and giving presentations throughout the event. Delegates will also have the chance to attend workshops with practitioners and researchers in all fields of sport and kinesiology.

The conference will be grouped into five themes which include; Sport’s Motivations; Identities in Sport; Sport and Health; Sports Education; and Sports Organization.

In order to participate in the conference, the event organisers are calling for the submission of a paper proposal which can be submitted online by visiting the events’ official website.

The event will draw thousands of influential people within the sports industry into the city who will book a Kolkata hotel close to the Unitedworld School of Business where the conference will take place.

Lek Boonlert, marketing head at DirectRooms.com commented: “Kolkata will be bursting with sports fans and delegates of the conference during this period, so any one hoping to get a good deal on a hotel should check availability online and book well in advance.”
