MEI Presents: An Evening With....Delivering and Sustaining Major Event Legacy

​This informal evening discussion explores how major event infrastructure can be successfully delivered, activated and sustained beyond the event itself.

​Using the Olympic Park and its surrounding developments as a real-world case study, the session will examine how public authorities, private developers and long-term operators collaborate to transition from event-time delivery to lasting city impact.

​Topics will include governance and funding models, commercial activation, operational handover, and sustaining venues and public space long after the spotlight has moved on.

​The format is deliberately conversational and off-the-record, encouraging open reflection and practical insight rather than formal presentations.

​Ideal for destinations, rights holders and delivery partners seeking a clearer understanding of what genuinely works in practice.
