Running a sport event - whether it's an international competition or local youth tournament - requires acute knowledge and the ability to plan, organise, promote, lead, and communicate effectively. And no other text prepares students for the task as effectively as 'Managing Sport Events', Third Edition With HKPropel Access. While other texts in this space stray into the area of facility management, this title keeps its focus where it should be by providing a thorough grounding of the entire event management process. Beginning with an overview of event conception and development, the text then moves into the principal planning areas of budgeting, marketing, promotion, sponsorships, and legal and risk management. Later chapters focus on key operational areas, such as staffing, event services and logistics, and event-day management, and ends with post-event details and evaluation.
