The 2012 Lausanne Summit was held in Lausanne from September 30 to October 2 at the Lausanne Palace.

The 2012 Lausanne Summit focused on ‘social legacies’ – how hosting the Olympic Games can be activated to strengthen the social fabric of a host city by engaging the community through sport, in community activities and developing education programmes. Participants heard from a variety of organisations presenting case studies demonstrating how, through careful planning, the Olympic legacy can be used by cities to translate the vision of a healthy and active city into a reality.

Theme:
Social legacies: using the hosting of the Olympic Games to contribute to the social wellbeing of a city’s inhabitants by encouraging and facilitating participation in physical activity, developing education and engaging the community to coalesce around common social goals.
