Facilities and events management

About This Course

Facility and event managers are accountable for the success of sporting ventures and events. Modern-day sport venues are vastly different in their appearance and functionality compared with the previous generation of facilities. Not only is the market for sport and entertainment events expanding and becoming more diversified but the needs of old and new customers have changed as well, leading to the changing functionality of new venues. The sport or entertainment event is inextricably linked to the place and location in which it is being organised and hosted. High-quality events require high-quality facilities. The type of event brings with it an endless list of requirements, the fulfilment of which determines the eventual success or failure of the event. The module offers a systematic guide to the management issues and practical problems that sports managers must address to ensure success.
