What does it take to build something the entire world is going to see?
The Olympic and Paralympic Games are among the rare projects with an immovable deadline, a global audience, extraordinary expectations, and almost no margin for error.
For this intimate ALTA gathering, we are stepping inside the world of Milano Cortina 2026 with Andrea Varnier, CEO of Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026, for a candid conversation about what it takes to conceive, coordinate and deliver something at this scale.
How do you align thousands of people, institutions, partners and competing priorities around one vision? How do you make decisions when the stakes are enormous and the clock cannot move? How do you create an experience that must work operationally while also carrying emotion, identity and meaning for millions of people around the world?
Each guest will be invited to come with three questions for Andrea. We will make our way through as many as we can, discussing each as a group. Expect a candid, participatory conversation rather than a presentation, and an unusual opportunity to step inside the making of something most of us only ever encounter once the curtain goes up.
Hosted inside the Milano Cortina 2026 VIP Hut.
ALLIANZ TOWER – Floor 44, Piazza Tre Torri 3, Milan
By Invitation Only. RSVP Required.
