Agenda on Nov 7 to kick off 25th IAKS Congress
IAKS congress
for the design, construction, modernization and
management of sports and leisure facilities
Nov 7,
2017, 10.30 am: Partnerships in staging national and international
events
The hosting of a national or international sports
competition needs to be understood and dealt with based on a solid
understanding of both the opportunities and risks. It can have a
dramatic effect on a city’s stature and reputation but can develop
an unrealistic set of expectations.
This session will look at the
critical initial steps in the planning and due-diligence process.
Gilbert Felli, Senior Advisor and longtime IOC Olympic Games Director
from Switzerland is chairing the session.

emissions and sustainability issues. This session is presented in
