| The two-day venuisation
seminar is intended to target the preparatory work for the Games-time operation
and will help attendees nail down the know-how of integrating the venue
operation plan into the 2008 Olympic master schedule.
The seminar will also help define the venue planning procedure for the
Beijing Games and train personnel allocated at the competition and
non-competition venues. The training of the latter will involve the application
of the planning procedure for the competition venues to the non-competition
venues.
Chief organizers of the Beijing Olympics will be able to obtain from the
seminar useful knowledge about the missions in the days to come and the
necessary support they are to provide for the accomplishment of the venue
operation.
Lecturing the workshop were Katharine McLennan and Matthew Jackson with the
International Olympic Committee (IOC) OGKM, Lisa Hindson of the IOC Venue
Operation, and Roula Kokkota from the organizing committee of Athens 2004
(ATHOC) -- the latest edition of the Summer Games.
Vice Mayor of Beijing and BOCOG Executive Vice-President Liu Jingmin
delivered a keynote speech at the seminar and BOCOG Executive Vice-President Li
Binghua chaired the seminar.
Representatives of BOCOG departments concerned, the competition and
non-competition teams, the Beijing 2008 Project Construction Headquarters
Office, the Beijing 2008 Environmental Construction Office, and other
stakeholders took part in the seminar.
A section of the IOC's Olympic Games Department, Olympic Games Knowledge
Management (OGKM) offers Olympic Games Organising Committees (OCOGs) services,
including workshops, seminars and a network of experts with Games experience on
a range of Olympic topics that will occur throughout the OCOGs' lifecycle.
