The Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) was established on December 13th, 2001, five months after Beijing won the right to host the 2008 Games.

      The Committee currently consists of 18 departments looking after everything from venue planning to environmental management.

      BOCOG will gradually expand its departments and staff in line with the demands of the Olympic preparations. By the year 2008, there will be more than 30 departments and 4,000 staff under the BOCOG umbrella.
