Lima 2019 Pocket Guide

The Lima 2019 Pan American Games featured more than 6,600 athletes from 41 countries who competed in 39 sports and more than 50 disciplines across 17 days of action. In order to assist the more than 1,000 international press covering the Games as well as the members of the Pan American Family (Olympic Committee Presidents, International Federation Executives, IOC Members, etc) and Panam Sports extensive staff working the Games, my colleague Alejandro Goycoolea and I developed the Pocket Guide to Lima 2019.

The goal of the guide was to help reduce the confusion brought on by those staggering numbers of the Games and provide the most pertinent information in the simplest way possible. I believe we succeeded with this lofty goal, condensing the vast information of the Games into a pocket-sized booklet that included the sport calendar, venue map, daily competition schedule, profiles of top athletes such as the #TeamPanamSports Ambassadors and other icons set to compete and even a breakdown of which sports offered qualification to the Olympic Games. I wrote or translated every piece of information in the guide and collaborated closely with our designer Elizabeth Montenegro to complete it before the Games began despite various changes to the sport calendar just days before the Opening Ceremony.

The feedback we received from everyone who received the Pocket Guide was incredible. Nearly everyone thanked us for providing an easy and portable solution to resolve their biggest questions about the Games. The guide also achieved a secondary goal of making more people aware of Panam Sports as the organization behind the Games as well as the fledgling Panam Sports Channel that we launched in tandem with the staging of Lima 2019 to great success.
