• Abstract:
  On October 13–15, 2024, nearly 170 representatives of government, private sector consulting firms and companies, non-profit and advocacy groups, and universities joined the 2024 UCLA Lake Arrowhead Symposium on Mega Events, Major Opportunities. This report summarizes the discussions, lessons learned, and action items from the convening. Attendees heard from government and civic leaders in Los Angeles, mega event transportation experts, advocates for people with disabilities, people working in the civic sector to improve Los Angeles, professors of urban planning and public policy, and those who had studied the urban planning and transportation changes that Paris made in advance of this summer’s games. Attendees discussed Los Angeles’s preparations for upcoming mega events, particularly the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, emphasizing the need for permanent changes that benefit the region beyond the events themselves. There was a particular focus on creating a positive legacy through infrastructure improvements, particularly in underserved areas, and enhancing civic sector capacity to assist government in advancing legacies through inclusive planning, coalition building, and economic inclusion. To encourage open discussion, Symposium attendees agree to uphold Chatham House Rules. Under these rules, participants are free to use the information they learn at the convening but not to attribute what they learned or what was said to any one individual. However, this limitation can also limit the potential for shared lessons learned and action items to inform both the future work of participants and also the ability to share with those who did not attend the Symposium. This report aggregates the contributions of speakers and attendees, both orally and via audience response activities administered by smartphone.
