A delegation from Chicago 2016 will be in Beijing to attend the general assembly of the Association of National Organizing Committees (ANOC) being held April 7-10.
The event occurs every two years and allows the committees from each of the world’s 205 countries to share insights and experiences, discuss issues and set priorities and become more aligned and integrated with the Olympic Movement.
In a media release Chicago 2016 say it’s an opportunity for the bid committee to learn about the issues other national organizing committees care about and incorporate these findings into its plan for the Games.
Pat Ryan, the bid’s chairman and CEO, who is leading the delegation said, “I’m looking forward to meeting and working with the leaders of the Olympic Movement throughout the world. As we move forward in the bidding process, the knowledge Chicago 2016 gains from events like these will make our plan that much stronger”.
