The message of the president.

Dearest friends, The Italian Canoe Kayak Federation , which I am honored to chair, wants to be a leader and get timely to the appointment with the city of Milan and its famous Idroscalo Club. In 2015 Milan will be hosting Expo where the dominant theme will be the “ waterways “.

EXPO is the universal most coveted event of the world. With the full support of the Italian Olympic Committee and all National Public Authorities , the Italian Canoeing Federation has been already able to obtain, in case of turning out of being successful with our candidature, the ICF World Championships of Canoeing being considered as the main Sports event during EXPO 2015. It is an opportunity that we can not miss … being included in the official programs such as the Main Sports Event of Expo 2015 is indeed a huge value in terms of communication and universal attention.

I am sure I will not be denied if I state that , whenever my Federation had the honor to organize an important event such as the ICF World Championships, the ECA Championships and the ICF World Cups, without forgetting the ICF Congress … we have never disappointed expectations. This time our candidature is even stronger because, in addition to our heart and our passion, we have strong and clear support from RAI Italian National Television, Public Administrations, Italian Olympic Committee and many major sponsorships.

As always, our way of working will lead to the center of attention … the Paddlers … who always are the real stars. But, this time we will work with joy and emotion to also assist our Paracanoeing paddlers

LETTERS OF SUPPORT

and very properly organize their races as they will compete for the World Championships and for their qualification to the Paracanoeing Olympic Games.

In this respect, I can hereby state with pride that the entire venue at the Idroscalo Club is ready to welcome our Paracanoeing athletes, thanks to the important investments made by the Province of Milan. Another important achievement has been the availability of a new College with rooms available at low cost to accommodate more than three hundred participants, only four kilometres away from the Idroscalo Club. The province of Milan has also thought to build a logistics facility in 2015 inside the Club.

We firmly believe in this candidature, aware of the responsibilities that such an important International event requires. At the same time, we strongly believe in our professional ability, our enthusiasm and determination and we are sure that , thanks to your support and confidence, a truly impeccable and well organized ICF World Championship will be staged in Milan.

We are ready to welcome all of you in 2015.

Thank you for your attention.

The Idea • The Italian Canoe Kayak Federation has regularly lodged its candidature for the organization of the ICF Sprint and Para canoeing World Championships in 2015 at the Idroscalo Club of Milan during the EXPO 2015 season.

• The venue of the event will be the Idroscalo Sports Canoe Kayak Club: now one of the most reliable and famous canoeing venues in the world for Sprint and Para canoeing.

• We expect to welcome 2300 participants who will represent about 110 countries.

• The discipline of Olympic Canoe Kayak Sprint will be the star of the event: the most important event because it will be the four-year Olympic qualification race for Rio 2016.

It produces 10% of national GDP “gross domestic product” , a level equal to Brussels or Madrid.

Its income per capita is almost double the national and the unemployment rate is half of the Italian record .

It sells 10 millions tickets for shows of art, music, cinema; like Berlin, Amsterdam, Barcelona which are cities having same inhabitants.

It is the home of 650 showrooms in fashion, competing with great cities like Paris and New York.

It is the Italian capital of voluntary and third sector.

Compared with the Italian troika of tourism -- Florence, Venice and Rome -- Milan is often an afterthought. But with novel, eye-catching design emerging around the city, that should soon change.

For years, unsightly scaffolding obscured the Milan Cathedral; now that most of it has been dismantled, the newly scrubbed Gothic masterpiece, also known as the Duomo, is worth a fresh look. Across the piazza, the city’s collection of 20th-century art is now showcased at the Museo del Novecento, which opened in December in the restored Palazzo dell’Arengario.

Outside the historic center, former factories have been transformed into design studios, old warehouses have been repurposed as unconventional art venues, and galleries are packed with avant-garde works.

now extends beyond retail and runways. Arguably the most fashionable addition is the Hotel Milano Scala, which opened last year in a renovated 19th-century mansion singing the eco-chic promise of ‘’zero-emissions hospitality.’’ In a country where green directives are not yet widespread, it proves that Milan is, once again, on the cutting edge.

12,0 Promoting and Marketing 12,1 PROMOTION STRATEGY AND PROGRAM Idroscalo Club, which has been assigned by the Italian Federation to the organisation of the event, carries out a continuous editorial communication action on local media, so the inhabitants of Milan suburbs next to and surrounding Idroscalo, are constantly reached by information concerning the canoe sport activity.

There are also two very important factors. The first is that on the territory of the Municipality of Segrate, where most of the Idroscalo is located including the sport area and the tribunes, and 30.000 inhabitants live, there are companies of the TV and editing sector among the most important at the European level.

The second noticeable factor is the attending of middle school students -10/14 years old - and the summer camps activity at the club, which means a total of around 3.000 teen-agers

13,0 Media: Press, radio, internet and TV 13,1 EVENT BROADCASTING The Italian Federation and the Italian Olympic Committee, of which the federation is a member, have an agreement, for all that concerns the filming and the broadcasting of sports events, with RAI Radio Italian Television (the State broadcasting company) from which other Countries broadcasting companies can get the rights for the diffusion of the service. As far as the various kind of media is concerned, a very efficient press service will be as always in function, and it will provide the diffusion of frequent on-line newsletters both in Italian and in English language for all the other Countries, including pictures; those who are interested in receiving them have to communicate their e-mail address to segreteria@idroscaloclub.org. The website www.idroscaloclub.org is always very updated.

During the event, the official photographer will be able to provide images at once to those who will request them.

The press room will be settled in the arrival tower building hall or in a contiguous place.

approaching the canoe discipline for the first time.

13,2 HOST BROADCASTER 12,2 MARKETING STRATEGY AND PROGRAM The OC will assign the merchandising to an agent, in order to keep the attention to the organising effort, but it will as usual take care of the design creativity.

12,3 PUBLIC OPINION AND LEGACY TO THE AREA As we operate on the border of an extremely dynamic metropolis and in the territory of one of the most florid hinterland municipalities in Italy, we have to face a massif competition developed in any sector of the human activity; therefore the organization of excellence events are the essential oxygen to keep at dignified levels. It is fundamental to give constantly important signals of our presence in order to progress in the prestige ranking.

As illustrated in the previous section, RAI will have the sole right for the TV filming and the other Countries broadcasting companies will have to turn to them to get the rights for the diffusion of the service. Filming normally takes place from different fixed positions and from two catamarans following the competition course, plus a few cameramen troupes for interviews, which will be hosted in the athletes area. The TV reports are partially broadcasted live and also by satellite.

13,3 PRESS CENTRE AND/OR BROADCAST CENTRE The media operators will have 70 work positions at disposal in the press room and will be in contact all the time with their editorial offices. They will constantly receive the races starting timetables and arrival results and will get to follow the commented stages of all races through a maxi-screen.

At the top floor of the sheltered tribune there will be 25 positions for the TV and radio commentators, they will enjoy a perfect view of the entire competition course and of the maxi-screen in function on the side of the arrival tower facing the tribune, which will allow them to follow the course of the programme.

13,4 LOOK AND IMAGE 12.4 DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT CONCEPT AND VISION The event concept is the one also developed in the previous section 12,3. In our opinion, the reason for ICF to endorse the Italian Federation candidacy is the absolute necessity to support it providing the opportunities to be more and more in evidence in both the national and international sports panorama. It has to be considered, for example, the role our Country plays in the Mediterranean basin as to the diffusion of our discipline.

Considering that Idroscalo is already one of the most visually agreeable competition venue world-wide, and being designated among the representation sites of the city of Milan for the 2015 Expo, the whole environment and the park surrounding it will become one of the most pleasant in Europe. Also consider that the lake surface measures 850.000 sq. m, while the whole park, including the lake, measures 1.600.000 sq. m. As it will be our press office task to skilfully insert our communication in the current of the communication actions surely promoted by the Expo organisation and by the press office of the Province of Milan, owner of the park, it can be deduced that a highly prestigious image for the canoe discipline will come out of it, and consequently for the ICF, the Italian Federation and Idroscalo Club, too. The athletes’, technicians’ and managers’ behaviour will be determining, they will have to guarantee a flawless style as for each participant, such as to win the media mentions.

Next to the athletes area, the Idroscalo rescue service is active all year long with its own ambulance.

A doctor, assisted by paramedics, is always present. The rescue service is also provided with a landing area for the rescue helicopter, connected with the Hospital Maggiore in Milan. Moreover, during the competition there is always a second ambulance with medics and paramedics inside.

The organisation medic is anyway always present at the arrival tower.
