Online registration opened in April, with this year's theme for the two-day event being "Raising the Game".

There will be both in-person and virtual participation at the Symposium, which is scheduled to end on Sunday (June 12) at the SwissTech Convention Center in Lausanne in Switzerland.

It will focus on advancing anti-doping to aid clean sport for athletes through a series of sessions, as well as discussions on how to develop innovations to tackle doping.

This year's edition was scheduled for March 23 and 24, but it was pushed back due to COVID-19 concerns.

International Federations, national and regional anti-doping organisations, athletes, Governments and WADA-accredited laboratory workers traditionally attend the WADA Symposium.

WADA's Athlete Committee is then to hold the second Athlete Session on Monday (June 13), following the first edition of this in 2019.

"As it relates to COVID-19, we are committed to ensuring the health and safety of all our participants," said WADA President Witold Bańka.

"We will continue to base our decisions on directives issued by public health authorities."

Some of the sessions set to take place include "Leading the Anti-Doping Movement in a New Era", which is to feature opening remarks from Bańka and director general Olivier Niggli.

WADA governance reforms and discussions over how to support vulnerable athletes in regards to anti-doping follow on day one.

Other topics from day one include engaging anti-doping programmes with professional leagues, the implementation of dried blood spot testing and management of confidential sources.

A question-and-answer session with Bańka, Niggli and WADA vice-president Yang Yang then follows.

Day two sessions include education solutions for younger athletes, intelligence and investigations, National Governments' roles in preventing anti-doping, athletes' voices in decision-making and advancing the biological passport.
