🏆 THE ART OF MANAGING SPORT EVENTS 🏆 When it comes to organizing sport events, I firmly believe that there are four crucial aspects that must be prioritized to achieve success and leave a lasting impression. These are my fundamental pillars: 1️⃣ Maximum Quality in Organization: The success of an event begins with impeccable organization. Every detail, from schedules to logistics, must be perfectly managed. This ensures that participants and spectators have a smooth and memorable experience. Our 24/7 team leaders are a must. 2️⃣ Maximum Quality in Sports Facilities: First-rate facilities are essential for any competition. We ensure that athletes have spaces that match their skills and comply with the strictest safety regulations. 3️⃣ Maximum Quality in Accommodation: When participants arrive, it is crucial that they feel comfortable and well-received. We work to provide accommodation options that exceed expectations, from luxury hotels to efficient transportation services. 4️⃣ Maximum Quality of Participants: A sporting event would be nothing without its participants. We seek elite athletes and promote equality and sportsmanship. This not only enhances competitiveness but also contributes to building a community of committed athletes. In summary, these four pillars are the foundation of any successful sport event. Every detail is important, and dedication to these aspects has allowed us to offer unforgettable events for everyone involved. We are not just organizing sporting events; we are creating unparalleled experiences for sports enthusiasts. Thanks to all who have been part of our competitions and to our valuable collaborators who make this possible. We are excited about what the future holds and the opportunities to keep improving every day. #SportEvents #Quality #Organization #Sports

#Sports events never fail to pull in a large crowd and it’s up to transportation strategists to ensure everybody gets to and from a venue safely and smoothly. 💡 So what does it take to put together a successful #transportation plan for a large sports event? Planning for such events needs an elaborate cooperation between hosting cities and event organizers, not to mention the fine balance required between #publictransport systems and private transport solutions! To learn more, Sengerio caught up with the industry leader and expert Manuel Reimann to understand what it takes to organize transportation for some of the world’s largest sporting events. https://lnkd.in/dwD5kaX5

There are many reasons why people choose to book corporate hospitality at sports events. Over the next few days we will post what we think are the three most important reasons for doing so…   #1 Entertain Clients Entertaining clients at a sports event can be the perfect way to build real relationships with people and bond over some shared passions. Who doesn’t get excited watching their favourite sports team? Even those with zero interest in sport can’t help but get swept away with the excitement and atmosphere at events like Royal Ascot or the British Grand Prix. This, we feel, is why taking your clients to big events is an extremely useful and enjoyable business tool.   Often, business deals are made based on the people who are involved. A lot of other businesses can probably offer a similar range of products, skills, or industry knowledge. Your clients will want to know that they are working with good people. They will need to trust and respect the people that they work with. By taking them to a sport or music event you will have the opportunity to show your real side. You can build trust and respect by connecting on a friendlier and relaxed level.   Let us know what experiences you’ve had when entertaining your clients at sports events? #viphospitality #corporatehospitality #sportsevents

There are so many sporting events happening this Summer! 🏅 With the Olympics, Wimbledon, and many more that have already kicked off, what are you most looking forward to? 🤔 I can only imagine how busy venues worldwide will be for these great sporting occasions. Events like these present a real opportunity for venues to provide a memorable experience to encourage repeat visits. If you are directly managing a busy venue, how can you achieve that? I'd love to hear what venues are actively doing to enhance guest experiences. One aspect that I truly believe is critical is Chaperone's singular user interface feature. From merchandise to tailored offers and scheduling to relevant news, a singular user interface can revolutionise the journey a venue provides visitors. I would really relish the opportunity to show you this feature and demonstrate how it could provide real added value to your venue. Please feel free to connect and get in touch to discuss further!

#snsinstitution #snsdesignthinkers #designthinking A coordinator of games events plays a pivotal role in organizing and executing sporting competitions and events. This role is multifaceted, requiring a combination of organizational, logistical, and interpersonal skills to ensure the success of the event. In this overview, we will explore the key responsibilities and attributes of a games event coordinator. Games event coordinators are responsible for the planning and execution of various sporting events, ranging from small local tournaments to large international competitions. Their primary objective is to create a seamless and enjoyable experience for athletes, spectators, and other stakeholders. One of the most critical aspects of a coordinator's role is event planning. This involves selecting suitable venues, setting event dates, and creating a comprehensive schedule. The coordinator must consider factors such as the availability of facilities, weather conditions, and the needs of the participants. A well-thought-out plan is the foundation upon which a successful games event is built. Once the planning phase is complete, the coordinator shifts their focus to logistics. This includes coordinating with vendors for equipment, ensuring transportation for athletes and officials, and managing accommodation and catering. Attention to detail is essential in this phase, as any oversight can lead to disruptions during the event. Communication is another key component of the coordinator's role. They must liaise with various stakeholders, including athletes, coaches, referees, sponsors, and the media. Effective communication ensures that everyone is on the same page regarding event details, rules, and expectations. The safety and well-being of participants are paramount, and the coordinator must work closely with medical personnel and emergency services to create a comprehensive safety plan. This plan should address issues such as medical facilities, first-aid personnel, and evacuation procedures. In addition to logistical and safety considerations, a coordinator is responsible for ensuring that the event adheres to rules and regulations governing the sport. This involves coordinating with sports governing bodies, obtaining necessary permits and licenses, and ensuring that all participants meet eligibility requirements. On the day of the event, the coordinator oversees its execution, making sure that all aspects of the plan are carried out smoothly. They troubleshoot any issues that arise, whether it's a scheduling conflict, equipment malfunction, or a dispute between participants. Adaptability and quick decision-making are crucial in managing unforeseen challenges. The success of a games event often depends on the atmosphere it creates for both athletes and spectators. A coordinator must work to enhance the overall experience by organizing opening and closing ceremonies, entertainment, and promotional activities.

A question for anyone involved in Event Management, especially within sports. As you’re no doubt aware the Rugby World Cup recently kicked off in France and is set to run over the next two months, and, given the size of France, the organisers presented fans with the option to either buy a team pack, or a town pack - granting access to all the matches for that team/in that town. As a plus, the fan was then presented with an option to purchase Quarter-Final tickets as part of the deal. I’ve now heard from a number of fans travelling to the event their frustration that this ticketing method seems somewhat ludicrous. Especially since they booked tickets over two years ago. As I understand the issue is that if your team qualifies for the Quarter-Finals, you get the tickets you’ve paid for. If not, you get a refund. I’ve not come across this type of ticketing solution for a major event, and I’m curious if other event managers have? Given the distance fans often travel to go to an event like this, the complexities of local logistics are pretty fundamental, especially when you consider the cost implications beyond the tickets themselves - local travel, food, accommodation etc. Putting myself in a fan's shoes for a moment and recognising that they might not know if they have tickets until potentially a week before the Quarter-Finals themselves, it strikes me this approach is going to create a lot of negative sentiment towards the organisers. Having run marketing programmes either on contract or client side for some major events, including the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, Formula 1, The Saudi Cup and a multitude of others across athletics, rowing, rugby and golf, I’d consider myself fairly well positioned to understand the complexities of how major events are run, yet this approach does seem nuts to me. How would you have managed this? #rugbyworldcup2023 #eventmanagement

The Sunshine Coast Major Events Strategy 2018-2028 has been refreshed! The 2023 strategy refresh provides a 5-year framework which seeks to maximise the value of major events to the economy and to the region. Some of the key measures include: 💡 New initiatives such as creating an “emerging events” category to keep up with the ever-changing events landscape. Emerging events will be assessed differently with a focus placed on their future growth potential. 💡 Diversifying events to include more culture and lifestyle events and ensuring there is a balance in the portfolio and ensuring they attract people during off-peak periods. 💡 Identifying the major event legacy opportunities of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games. #SunshineCoastMajorEvents #SunshineCoast https://lnkd.in/gBU-gkht
