The President of BOCOG was Liu Qi (simplified Chinese: 刘淇; traditional Chinese: 劉淇; pinyin: Liú Qí), the then CPC secretary of Beijing Municipality.

On December 13, 2001, the Organizing Committee for the XXIX Olympiad was officially constituted, initially headquartered at the Xinqiao Hotel in Chongwenmen, which previously housed the Beijing Olympic bidding committee.

On September 28, 2002, the office was transferred to the Qinglan Building in Dongsishitiao, and on January 19, 2006, it was moved to the Beijing Olympic Mansion on the North Fourth Ring Road.

The Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG) has set up a total of 22 functional departments, which were later increased to more than thirty as the preparatory work for the Olympic Games was in full swing.
