Building upon the unqualified success of the 2007 inaugural event in London, and the 2008 event in Barbados, Legacy Lives 2009 will be held on 26-30 January 2009.
The 2009 event in Vancouver will bring together over 400 of the leading experts and decision makers from around the world, all of whom have one thing in common - they want to understand and develop the thinking around how a major sporting event can help to deliver long term and sustainable, social and economic benefits for businesses, cities, regions and countries.
So, what kind of organisations and individuals will be represented in Vancouver?
- City representatives thinking of bidding for a major event
- Local Organising Committees currently bidding for an event
- Host cities that have already secured their chosen event
- City representatives from tourism or economic development departments keen to profile on the world stage or change people's perception of the city in a positive way (called place branding)
