News Summary:
The French Alps 2030 organizing committee, supported by the French government and the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes regions, recently hosted a “Meet the Buyers” event on March 27, 2026. This event aimed to inform and engage small and medium-sized businesses about procurement opportunities related to the delivery of the Games. Earlier, on March 9, 2026, Abhijit Bhattacharya was named the Global Winner of the 2025 IOC Gender Equality Diversity and Inclusion Champions Awards, alongside five continental winners: Racheal Kundananji (Africa), Mónica Elvira Franco Luzcando (Americas), Kim Yeon-koung OLY (Asia), Michele Kang (Europe), and Robyn Cockburn (Oceania). This follows the IOC’s Milano Cortina 2026 Observers Programme, which on February 19, 2026, allowed future organizing committees, including LA28, French Alps 2030, Brisbane 2032, and Utah 2034, to gain first-hand insight into Games delivery operations and planning. Additionally, iconic Looney Tunes characters featured in a large-scale visual installation in Milan and at the Official Olympic Pin Trading Centre, operating until February 22, 2026, a result of a licensing collaboration between WBD, its partners, and the IOC, as reported on February 17, 2026. Previously, on February 15, 2026, the Milano Cortina 2026 Organising Committee announced that 18,000 volunteers are powering the Games experience, with Chief Strategy Planning and Legacy Officer Diana Bianchedi emphasizing their critical role from athlete arrival to the conclusion of competition.
