Leading the World of Mega-Events

Now in its tenth year of publication, HOST CITY has become the magazine of choice for sports federations, organising committees, bidders and suppliers in their quest for best practice on how to host and deliver mega events.

HOST CITY was first published in 2003 for the organising committee of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Since then, the publication has expanded to reach the international community of stakeholders in all mega events, from the 2012 London Olympics to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

HOST CITY is widely regarded as the top opinion former in the world of mega events. And now, as all eyes turn to Brazil, Russia and Qatar, we are now publishing Portuguese, Russian and Arabic language versions of HOST CITY!

HOST CITY helps you to keep ahead of the game.

“I find Host City very interesting and well written. It is of great value, because information is king.”

Sir Craig ReedieIOC Executive Board Member
