An Evening with the Olympic Park

20 August 2026

Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Stratford, London, E20 2ST

Overview

MEI is delighted to host the next instalment of An Evening on the Olympic Park, an informal evening exploring the legacy of the 2012 Games and the future of Para Sport, held at the London Aquatics Centre.

The evening opens with a series of short presentations from organisations shaping Para Sport today, including the Olympic Park Legacy Company and the Global Disability Innovation Hub, followed by an open discussion. It closes with drinks and networking on the pool deck, in a studio space overlooking the pool on one side and the GB dry dive training area on the other.

Guests are also welcome to join an optional walking tour of the Park from 3:30pm, taking in the Copper Box Arena and the ArcelorMittal Orbit before arriving at the Aquatics Centre
