LESSON : SPORTS DEVELOPMENT EVENT MANAGEMENT

Basic understanding of an EVENT Preparing an event is an ART and a SCIENCE.
– Friedmann (1997)

Basic understanding of an EVENT ART – it requires enthusiasm and creativity

Basic understanding of an EVENT SCIENCE – it requires factual knowledge, discipline, and methodical work

Basic understanding of an EVENT EVENT- generally understood as an organized, functional specific happening, with limited time
scale, and the participation of a group of people

Sport for DEVELOPMENT EVENT – means that there are specific objectives that need to be achieved through the event, and
the event itself would be the vehicle for raising awareness to the participants and general public
This could be the integration of relevant life skills and using the event to raise awareness about relevant social issues.
Social Issues
 Malnutrition (Obesity)
 Bullying
 HIV/Aids
 Drugs

Characteristics of an Event

Uniqueness : Each event is different. The same kind of event can be repeated several times, but each time there will be
something different. E.g. The participants, the venue, or the message you want to spread
Personal Interaction : As you can imagine, an event has lots of personal interaction. In a sports event you definitely have
personal interaction. First of all the players have interaction. But also the spectators play a crucial role. They are not only
watching the event- the crowd is also helping to create a unique atmosphere
Fixed Timescale : Events follow a fixed timescale: they have a fixed beginning and a fixed end. -The timescale can be short
(One-Day event) or rather long (UAAP)
 Perishability: If the event is unique, then it is without any doubt also perishable. The event cannot be repeated exactly the
same as the event before
Intangibility: Generally speaking, an EVENT is intangible. You cannot really see or touch the activity.
Ambiance and Service: When it comes to events, ambiance and service are two very important factors. An event with the
right ambiance and a good service can be a great success. On the other hand, an event with the wrong ambiance and bad
service can be a failure
