LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- HOPSports Inc., a global-based, physical activity content producer proudly announces the launch of the GlobalCAL50 Forum Oct. 5-8, 2011, in Santa Clarita, Calif. Valued HOPSports' partners include the American College of Sports Medicine, AutoBGood, BeamFit, Cartoon Network, Dairy Management Inc., Harlem Globetrotters, HyperWear, Lazy Town, Martial Fusion, National Football League, NERRTC, The OrganWise Guys Inc., ReDefined Fitness, Ringling Bros.(®) CircusFit(®), Stuntmen's Association, T-BOW, Tezoro Productions LIVE Dance, USA Cycling, US Rowing, USA Volleyball, United Way, WNBA and Yogaworks.

The theme of the GlobalCAL50 Forum is Community Active Living (CAL). VIP delegates representing the brightest and most committed minds from around the globe have been invited to participate, including 46 countries and 82 confirmed attendees to date. This historical event marks the first global forum linking technology with a holistic concept of physical activity, promoted by world-wide leading experts. The mission of the forum is to create an active participant 3D model for Community Active Living. International delegates will be invited to virtually present their research and findings during individual 30-minute filming sessions against a green screen. The presentations will simultaneously be streamed live not only to the presenter's host country but to all of the anticipated 50 participating countries. Invited delegates' individual research, wellness initiatives, product or body of work will be launched on the global stage, substantially and sustainably influencing communities around the world.
"By creating a 3D active living community model, we have the chance, together, to truly intervene in communities around the world by helping build better cities and better lives," said Root.
For eight months prior to convening at the GlobalCAL50 Forum, the laurelled city of Santa Clarita will be a host community model fully invested in Community Active Living.
"All facets of the award-winning Santa Clarita community will participate in tracking behavioral change: schools pre-kindergarten through the university level, health facilities, city and government offices and entities, committed citizens, local businesses and national corporations, police and fire departments," Cindy Sisson Hensley, said HOPSports president and GlobalCAL50 Forum co-chair. "Come join us. Together we can move a healthier generation forward."
"There exists a unique opportunity in the world for like-minded individuals to come together and help change the world, and that time is NOW," said Dr. Ming-Kai Chin, HOPSports vice president of global affairs and research and GlobalCAL50 Forum co-chair.
