Talk synopsis
On 27th July 2012 the Opening Ceremony of the Games of the 30th Olympiad will be held in London. Over the following sixteen days of competition approximately 7.7 million spectators are expected to attend the events at the 33 different competition venues.
The Olympic Games will be followed two weeks later by the Paralympic Games, which, whilst being roughly one-third the scale of the Olympic Games, is also one of the world’s largest sporting events.
