Andrew Parsons, IPC President, speaking ahead of the occasion said: “We have a hugely exciting week planned as we celebrate two significant landmarks in the history of the IPC – our 30th anniversary since formation and our 20th year headquartered in Bonn.
“We are thrilled that so many IPC members and key stakeholders can join us in our home city for a series of events that will not only celebrate our achievement to date but also influence the future of the IPC and Paralympic Movement.”
The week will kick off on Tuesday (22 October) with the IPC Governing Board’s two days of meeting. The IPC will also host a Partners Workshop looking ahead to Tokyo 2020 that will bring together all seven Paralympic Worldwide Partners and three International Partners for the first time.
