On Sunday, the board will hear reports on IOC's administration, and IOC President Thomas Bach will hold a press conference at 2 p.m. that day.

The IOC Session will have its opening ceremony at Gangneung Art Centre in Gangneung, a sub-host city of all ice events, located just east of PyeongChang. The first set of meetings will be held at Kensington Flora Hotel in Gangneung on Feb. 6 and 7, with Bach holding another press conference at 6:30 p.m. on the second day.
