We kindly ask participants of POM 2026 to spare a few minutes of their time to complete a survey about the event.

SURVEY LINK: IMPACT-O POM 2026 Survey

This study is essential to assess the impact of the Portugal “O” Meeting 2026 in the following areas:

• Economic

• Sustainability
• Heritage

By completing this survey, you are supporting not only the POM 2026 organisation but also Orienteering at national level, as the data collected will be extremely important in strengthening the negotiating capacity of future Orienteering event organisers, both with Municipalities and with potential sponsors.
