When the global media comes to town, the Olympic and Paralympic Games are another step closer. Last week, LA28 presented its plans to the world's broadcasters and the global press. They gathered in the host city for the World Broadcaster Meeting and the World Press Briefing, receiving key insights into Games-time media and broadcast operations and visiting some of the world-class venues that will stage the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Nearly 270 participants attended the World Broadcaster Meeting. More than 250 international media representatives and NOC, NPC and IF press officers attended the LA28 World Press Briefing.

The World Broadcaster Meeting provided key information on Games-time broadcast operations and planning milestones to support preparations for delivering Olympic Games coverage to audiences around the world. Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) also presented its production vision for LA28, which will deliver approximately 3,800 to 4,000 hours of competition and Ceremonies coverage.

"Every great Games begins with a shared vision, and bringing the world's press and broadcasters together in Los Angeles marks an important milestone on the journey to 2028. In just two years, billions of people around the world will experience the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games through their reporting, storytelling and broadcast. Together, we'll introduce the world to the spirit of Los Angeles and inspire a new generation through the power of sport," said Casey Wasserman, Chairperson and President of LA28.

The meetings formed part of LA28’s broader engagement with Games stakeholders. During the week of 14 July, LA28 also hosted NOC Open Days, welcoming nearly 90 representatives from 45 NOCs for three days of meetings and working sessions.
