When most people think about the Olympics, they think about sport.
But LA28 is something entirely different.
Los Angeles is not just a host city; it’s the global capital of entertainment. And for the first time in Olympic history, the Games are being shaped not just as a competition, but as a distributed, city-wide experience that blends sport, culture, and storytelling.
The 2028 Games will span dozens of venues across Southern California, from iconic stadiums to beaches to entertainment districts, transforming the entire region into a living stage.
This isn’t a contained event. It’s a narrative playing out across a city.
A New Kind of Olympic Experience
The decision to host events across multiple zones creates something both exciting and challenging:
How do you unify a global experience when your audience is spread across an entire city?
This is where entertainment becomes essential.
Unlike previous Olympic Games that relied heavily on centralized spectacle, LA28 has the opportunity to create continuous moments of engagement, before, during, and beyond competition.
Every venue becomes a stage.
Every transition becomes an experience.
Every guest becomes part of the story.
From Ceremonies to Citywide Storytelling
We’re already seeing signs of this shift.
The Opening Ceremony will take place across two venues simultaneously—blending history and innovation in a way never seen before.
Major artists have already been integrated into Olympic moments, signaling a strong commitment to cultural storytelling alongside sport.
And the visual identity of LA28 itself is rooted in emotion, diversity, and creative expression—not just branding.
This is not decoration.
This is direction.
The Real Opportunity
The biggest opportunity for LA28 isn’t just producing incredible ceremonies.
It’s creating a connected entertainment ecosystem across the entire Games.
- Pre-event activations that build anticipation
- Interstitial entertainment between competitions
- Nighttime spectacles that extend the guest experience
- Cultural programming that reflects Los Angeles and the world
Because the truth is:
Guests don’t just remember who won gold.
They remember how the experience made them feel.
Why This Matters
For partners, producers, and creative teams, LA28 represents a turning point.
This is where sport and entertainment fully merge.
Where storytelling becomes infrastructure.
Where guest experience becomes strategy.
And where the future of global events will be defined.

The world will be watching Los Angeles in 2028.
Not just to see who wins, but to see what’s possible.
