Stefano MANELLI
Large-scale sporting events represent one of the most complex operational challenges in public transport, and the conversation around them is only growing.
With the FIFA World Cup, LA28, and the Salt Lake City-Utah Games on the horizon, North American transit agencies are continuing to look toward global experiences for guidance on planning, coordination, and delivery at scale.
This webinar focuses on the 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Milan-Cortina as the most recent case study in event-driven transport planning.
The session will feature Stefano Manelli, Director at Citec Italy and Head of Transport for Milano Cortina 2026, bringing first-hand insight into how transit networks prepared for extraordinary surges in demand, navigated complex multi-venue geographies, and managed the operational realities of serving a global event.
This is a unique opportunity for UITP North America members to hear directly from someone at the centre of one of the world’s most demanding transport planning efforts, with insights directly relevant to agencies already preparing for the major sporting moments ahead.
