Educational Master Classes
| ISES in Support of SITE's seminar on 2012 London Olympics
Have the opportunity to hear Donna Taylor from LOCOG (the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games) talk about how incentive agents, hoteliers, groundhandlers and suppliers can maximise the opportunity of the 2012 London Olympics. What is LOCOG responsible for? LOCOG is responsible for staging memorable Games in 2012. LOCOG is led by Sebastian Coe (Chair) and Paul Deighton (Chief Executive). It is based in Canary Wharf along with the Olympic Delivery Authority. They will deliver the best possible Olympic and Paralympic Games experience for everyone involved, ensuring a real legacy and inspiring people to join in. LOCOG will let most of the contracts for services to deliver and run the Games. Major procurement for contracts starts in 2009. As well as staging the 2012 Games, LOCOG will also be responsible for staging a series of test events in the year before the Games; recruiting and training volunteers; and overseeing the four year Cultural Olympiad leading up to the Games. By the time of the 2012 Opening Ceremony around 100,000 people will be working on the Games - including 3,000 staff, up to 70,000 volunteers and a large number of contractors
