Taking place at Holborn Bars on 18 January the event is expected to attract an audience of 180 event buyers.

George P Johnson senior director of public events strategy Charmaine Dobson and the Evening Standard’s Olympic correspondent Matthew Beard will also shed new insight on the impact of the Games for the wider business community. 

Beard has covered the London Games from candidate city, through the handover in Beijing to current developments, while Dobson brings her experience at the Sydney Olympic Games and Melbourne Commonwealth Games.

"The majority of our clients already have a clear vision on both the importance and the impact of the games within this industry, however very few people are addressing how the games will change the way we do business as people and organisations," said De Vere Venues director of group sales Ian Jones.

"For those in our industry, it’s important that we really look into how this major event will leave businesses post 2012."
