ANOC is delighted to be attending The 4th Regional Digital Communication and Social Media Seminar alongside partners the Azerbaijan NOC, IOC and European Olympic Committees in Baku from 2-4 October.

The Seminar is focused on driving forward innovation and best practice among the 18 NOCs from Europe and Asia, eight Athlete Commission representatives and other organisations taking part with presentations and breakout sessions throughout the three days. In addition, there will be recap of the Olympic Games Paris 2024 and a look back at the key lessons learned from NOCs.

ANOC will present the highlights and feedback from the NOC Photo Programme at Paris 2024 alongside the IOC and the success of the inaugural ANOC NOC Video Studio Project, which was utilised by more than 40 NOCs in France. Furthermore, an update on the next steps for the Digital Accelerator Program is included in the Agenda.

ANOC Secretary General Gunilla Lindberg said:

“In today’s digital age, the Seminar offers a vital opportunity to explore new ways to enhance our presence and impact in the Olympic Movement. Building on the success of previous seminars, we have gathered to continue our collaboration in shaping the future of Olympic communication. Looking forward to the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 and Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028, the benefit of having a unified strategy is clear.

“The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers exciting opportunities for all NOCs in the areas of fan engagement and communication, and the Olympic AI Agenda will play a vital role in supporting all of us.

“Thank you to the NOC of Azerbaijan for hosting the fourth edition of the Seminar and to the IOC and EOC for their support of this seminar.”
