For the G8 Summit ega has been in charge of the management of ancillary services, accommodation in hotels in Abruzzo and housing at Guardia di Finanza Coppito Campus.

- 120 housekeepers and 4 group leaders,
- 2994 keys,
- 5000 beddings,
- 1500 blankets,
- 5000 bath towels,
- 5000 room amenities,
- 400 job interviews,
- 24 training hours for the ancillary personnel,
- 220 hostesses and stewards selected, trained and working on site
Together with all the other G8 partners, ega has worked for the previous months and during the event by the Protezione Civile's side, with the common aim to do a great job and to try one's best so that everything could work perfectly.
It has been a very demanding activity, run in an atypical contest where the major Heads of State joined together for the first time in an unexpected location characterized by a minimum Red Zone.
A location that Delegations and Press shared for four days, which made their transfers and general mobility more complex for the personnel.
For ega the G8 Summit in L'Aquila has been the peack moment of a long period of collaboration for the organization of several events and ministerial preparatory meetings that started on January 2009 with the beginning of the Italian Presidency of the G8 and that will end on December 2009.
