GWC will be hosting a first industry hybrid event, ‘Getting you in the Game’, to launch the discussion on mega-events logistics on November 16, 2021, where it will showcase the behind-the-scenes activities that make enormous and exceptional mega-events a success with legacies that echo across the globe.
The recent regional transformation into a world hub for mega-events has driven vast growth in the logistics sector as key logistics providers work around the clock to make these gigantic events possible.
Industry experts will examine trends and transformation in logistics through a keynote speech, two panels, and two workshop sessions.
The first panel will discuss and explore the logistics behind mega sporting events with speakers from industries ranging from sports and events logistics, aviation, and beyond. The second panel will focus on the region’s transformation into a world-class events hub, how it continues to grow, and the role of logistics providers as it accelerates. Speakers in this panel will represent a range of industries covering education, technology, courier, and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG).
“Logistics play a significant role during sporting events to ensure smooth and efficient delivery of complex and large-scale events, which involves executing a broad spectrum of logistics services in the lead-up, during and after the final whistle,” said GWC Group CEO Ranjeev Menon.
“Moreover, the forum will bring attention to the hard work that is going into the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar turning it into a showcase for Qatar and the region,” he added.
GWC will be involved extensively in the tournament operations, from venue logistics, broadcasting, and cold-chain logistics to shipping, customs clearance, transport, and warehousing. It will offer end-to-end tracking and execution from point of entry to point of use and highly co-ordinated reverse logistics.
