Procurement agency focused on accommodation, meetings and event management, BSI, has published a report examining the impact of the London 2012 Olympic Games on the meetings and events industry.
 
Leveraging the Legacy considers whether the hype following the success of British Athletes will be enough to ignite the industry, says BSI.
 
Key findings:

  • Economic factors will override any effect because meetings and event professionals refined their procurement processes during the recession
  • London’s event venue landscape will not be significantly impacted, with relatively few new event venues and most either expanded existing or temporary venues
  • It will provide fresh impetus to corporate home working programmes
  • Upgraded transport infrastructure will be key to the industry’s legacy

“The stunning delivery of the Games has showcased the industry’s event planning, creative and logistical skills,” says BSI’s Head of MICE Product, Jim Quintrell. “On the back of the successful Royal Wedding and Jubilee celebrations and London’s transport network defying sceptics, we believe that the UK and London in particular, will become a global meetings and events destination of choice.”
