London 2012 blog

70 days to go until the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing...

I'm off out to Beijing on 10th July (42 days and counting), I'll be heading up a team looking after Network Seven, the Australian Broadcaster during the Games. Network Seven will be taking 184 clients in three waves out to Beijing and it’ll be my responsibility to look after their every need. My responsibilities will include pre-event planning and preparations of all hotel systems, hotel room and guest handling procedures, as well as being the key contact for any operational matter and trouble shooting.

This is a fantastic opportunity for me to gain a real insight into how a hotel operates during the Olympic & Paralympic Games. From the experience I hope to be able to input my learnings into the first draft of the London 2012 Accommodation operating plan.

I look forward to sharing my learnings soon!
