Palme, who has worked extensively on events for both FIFA and UEFA will look at a broad range of key issues facing managers of major sports events with reference to lessons learned from the World Cup. The conference, at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, brings together many of the world’s acknowledged authorities on the myriad disciplines involved in effective and profitable management of sports events.
Among the key themes of the conference are financing, budgeting and procurement, providing for and managing the media and enhancing the spectator experience.
Already delegates from a range of federations, facility owners, local authorities and consultancies have signed up for the two-day programme.
SportBusiness International is media partner of The International Sports Event Management Conference (ISEM) which is presented by Rushmans, who have organised the successful International Sports Security Summit at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre for the last two years.
ISEM has been developed to deliver key information and contacts to all those involved in hosting and managing sports events and the companies which service and supply them.
The programme for ISEM 2006 recognises and reflects the diversity and complexity of modern-day event management and the issues it raises for financing, budgeting, staffing and delivery of excellent services in a broad range of areas from media management and security to accommodation and transport.
The conference will consist of a series of keynote addresses, specialist presentations and panel discussions, each designed to deliver essential insight from participants with many years’ experience in the specialist disciplines involved in the event management process.
It aims to highlight leading-edge thinking and promote best practice by sharing knowledge and expertise across the full range of event management disciplines.
The International Sports Event Management Conference is particularly relevant at a time when the political and economic benefits of successfully staging major events are escalating as fast as the complexity of the events themselves.
ISEM 2006 is staged for sports event managers, promoters, International Federations, Local Organising Committees, Governing Bodies and the suppliers of the services, facilities and equipment which make the difference between success and failure.
