About Host Cities Summit
Host Cities is a two day exclusive summit bringing together current and future host cities from emerging nations with heads of leading sporting associations. In an exciting case-study and panel-led format, the summit will provide decision makers with an opportunity to meet and network, and prospective host cities with the opportunity to learn from those who have successfully hosted major events.
Hosting major sporting events is no longer the preserve of a handful of rich and established host sporting nations and cities.
Major sporting organisations have realised the financial and social benefits of taking their showpiece events to fast developing economies and other non-traditional sporting centres.
Emerging Nations have in turn realised the wide ranging benefits associated with hosting sporting events; including their ability to drive tourism, regenerate deprived areas, strengthen the economy and generate high visibility media coverage.
There are of course risks associated with moving away from experienced venues. Host Cities will provide the knowledge needed to overcome the challenges associated with hosting large scale sporting events.
Speakers
