[Forum] Dream Together Seoul Forum 2017

‘Dream Together Seoul Forum 2017’ focused on “Olympic Legacy and Sustainability” to promote upcoming 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games and to facilitate developing the Olympic legacy in general. Olympic legacy has been misunderstood, under-evaluated, and less-developed. Therefore, this year’s forum aimed to retrospect past Olympics which have left successful legacy including 1988 Seoul, 2010 Vancouver, and 2012 London Olympics and to figure out the direction for the legacy of the future Olympic host cites including 2018 PyeongChang and 2020 Tokyo.
