Thank you to the following companies I think everyone within the Paralympic Movement is in full agreement that the last time we staged a major and organisations for their support event in the British capital it was a fantastic success. The London 2012 Paralympics were the best Games ever and I am confident that London 2017 will have a similar impact, creating new sporting memories for us to cherish and talk about in the years to come. PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS The London Stadium on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park holds many special memories for all of us, and I am sure Paralympians who competed at London 2012 will be equally as excited as I am to return to this iconic venue. This year’s event marks the first time that the Championships have been held back-to-back with the IAAF equivalent. The result is that the level of organisation has taken a huge leap forward and I would like to pay huge credit to the Organising Committee for their outstanding dedication and commitment. We are expecting record crowds, record TV coverage, record media attendance and record commercial support for this event, providing an ideal platform for the record number of participating Para athletes to NATIONAL PARTNERS inspire and excite the world. As shown at last September’s Paralympics in Rio, the performances of Para athletes are improving year- on-year, whilst the depth of field is also getting stronger. With many Paralympic medallists, defending world champions and new faces set to compete here, I am certain that multiple world and Championship records will be broken during 10 days of exhilarating competition. It is vital that London 2017 not only builds on the success of Rio 2016, and the previous editions of the World Championships, but provides us with the best possible start to the next Paralympic cycle. I am sure that these Championships will be the best to date, giving us a fantastic platform from which to build ahead of Tokyo 2020. Finally, thank you to you as a Team Leader for your continued support to your team of athletes and the Paralympic Movement. NATIONAL SUPPLIERS You are helping to ensure that Para athletics remains the biggest and fastest growing sport in the Paralympic programme. I wish you the very best of luck for London 2017. Best wishes Sir Philip Craven MBE IPC PresidentIPC President 2 3 CONTENTS 6.
