Transport Planning for Major Sport Events 09
2nd of July 2009

Major sporting events attract hundreds of thousands of spectators from across the globe and can last between 12 and 16 days. This increase of visitors can push the existing transport infrastructure of a host city to breaking point, careful considered planning will minimise the impact on the existing infrastructure.

Successful Transport Planning is an essential part of staging any major sporting event. Effective transport plans should be sustainable and should aim to minimise environmental impacts wherever possible.

Good transport plans will ensure a lasting legacy for the local community with an increase in the transport network which will be of benefit for many years after the sporting event has taken place.

2009 will see the publication of the second London 2012 transport plan, which will see updated plans which will see the ODA is investing £500m in infrastructure to develop and deliver transport facilities that are needed before, during and beyond the 2012 Games.

The conference will feature speakers involved in recently staged and forthcoming major sporting events including;

  • The Sydney Olympic Games 2000

  • The Athens Olympic Games 2004

  • The Beijing Olympics 2008

  • The London Olympics 2012

  • The Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games

  • The 2010 South African FIFA World Cup

  • The Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics

  • The Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics

Speakers will also be discussing the following;

  • Access & Inclusion

  • Intelligent Transport

  • Sustainable transport alternatives

  • The role of Transport Policing at Sporting Events

  • Best Practice in Project and Programme Management

Delegates attending the conference will be transport professionals from across the world and will be offered a unique opportunity to network with fellow professionals engaged on current and previous transport plans for major sporting events.

IAAM Europe members will be offered a discounted rate for attending this conference. For more information please contact Rob Daniels, the delegate booking executive.
