Where we meet

Meetings are the lifeblood of networks. Meeting annually is nourishing for the network with Members sharing their respective initiatives and finding inspiration for future projects. 

Olympic Legacy Forum

The Olympic Legacy Forum is the annual gathering of all Active, Associate, and Affiliate Members of the World Union of Olympic Cities. On this occasion, participants (re)connect with each other and welcome new Members. With the collaboration of the IOC, conferences, workshops, and consultations nurture debates and enlarge horizons. On-site visits in the event’s Host Cities and additional trips are also part of the experience and are always a great opportunity to discover a living Olympic legacy.
