The Chefs de Mission Seminar marks a significant milestone in the organization of major international multi-sport events. The Organizing Committee of the Asian Beach Games delivered a comprehensive briefing on 16 core topics, including event organization, service support, registration and badge production, arrival and departure services, protocol services, the opening and closing ceremonies, and cultural activities.
