When looking to plan a sporting event, it’s important to consider all the factors. Sponsorship is key, as is having the right facilities and amenities for the athletes and their families. Consider relying on the expertise of the local sports commission/CVB or the local university athletic department and coaches. Personnel in these groups are often very familiar with planning and logistics. Budget is also very important when it comes to sporting events; Be sure to plan for everything you can possibly think of to ensure your event is successful from beginning to end. It’s a good idea to have a contingency budget for those unexpected things that can, and often do, happen.
