The three-day programme runs from September 3 until 5, and offers Governments, bidding and candidate cities, as well as sports event organisers, the chance to understand large scale event delivery.

A number of key figures involved in London 2012 will share their learning and experience of the Olympic Games at the programme next month, which will feature in the middle of the Paralympic Games.

Some of those who will be involved include Transport for London chief Peter Hendy, Jean Tomlin, the human resources director of London 2012, and Eduardo Paes, the Mayor of Rio de Janeiro, who host the next Summer Games.

The programme touches on all aspects of event delivery, from city strategy to human resources, technology, infrastructure and accessibility.

Sir Philip Craven, President of the IPC, said: "After years of careful planning, I'm sure the London Olympic and Paralympic Games will be a huge success.

"To stage an event of this magnitude requires an incredible amount of preparation and planning across many organisations.

"There are many lessons to be drawn from London 2012, and as an educational legacy we hope to share many of these with those either staging future events – such as Sochi 2014 or Rio 2016 - or considering staging a major sporting competition."

Hendy will be there to provide his experience of managing the transport network for a major sports event host city, and said: "Ensuring the London transport network is able to accommodate the influx of visitors to the capital and still keep London moving during the Games has been a massive operation involving a huge network of partners.

"We are very pleased to be able to share our insights with a wider audience at the IPC Academy's Games Experience Programme, so we can support Governments and cities hosting similar events in the future to develop the infrastructure and knowledge to deliver success."
