Wiz-Team selected as Official Provider for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games

Wiz-Team, an international event solutions company based in Lausanne, has been selected to provide the core Games Management System applications for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. The fast-growing company will deliver a suite of fully integrated and customisable applications to deliver services in accreditation, access control, sport entries and qualifications, and the baton relay.

The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games are a major event which will see around 4,500 athletes from 72 nations and territories compete in 19 sports and 8 para-sports across 14 competition venues from 28 July until 8 August 2022. As the biggest event ever to be held in the West Midlands, it is expected to attract more than one million spectators to the city and have a global TV audience of 1.5 billion.

Wiz-Team CEO Johann Woringer spoke of his excitement at securing such an important partnership agreement: “We are thrilled to have been selected as an official provider for the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. We can’t wait to supply our innovative games-tested tools and event management expertise to deliver this world-class event.”

Birmingham 2022 will use Wiz-Team’s all-in-one event management solution Event-Works to support the activation and management of over 80,000 accredited individuals across a Games ecosystem spanning more than 25 venues. Event-Works will also serve the organising committee to coordinate the entry and inscription of the 4,500 athletes competing next summer.
