27 September 2007 - FITA Event Organizers Seminar & Workshop in Lausanne

FITA Event Organizers Seminar & Workshop in Lausanne Lausanne – 27 September 2007   This week FITA is welcoming the 3rd FITA Event Organizers Seminar & Workshop in Lausanne, Switzerland. This event will take place from 27 to 30 September at the Maison du Sport International where the FITA Office is located.  About 20 participants from all around the world will take part in this Organizers Seminar. The lecturers will be Garry Hargraves (WGT Sport Limited), Rocky Bester (Great Big Events), Batuhan Ozay (Meteksan Events), Tom Wenham (SportWorks UK), and Jorg Brokamp (Leipzig Archery World Championships). The meeting will also be addressed by some members of the FITA Office and Committees, such as Tom Dielen (Secretary General), Juan Carlos Holgado (Event Director), Didier Mieville (Marketing and Communications Director), Françoise Dagouret (Corporate Services Director and Anti-doping Administrator), and Alison Williamson (Athletes Committee).   This seminar and workshop will cover major issues that organizers of archery events may face, such as entries and accreditation process, dealing with volunteers and workers, event preparation management, transport, accommodation and food services, field of play design and sport equipment, etc. Emphasis will also be placed on how to get exposure for an event, both in terms of local sponsors search and TV coverage, as well as local and national promotion to media and spectators.   Following such successful Organizers Seminars in the past years, FITA foresees another great success for this week’s meeting in Lausanne. Organizers of archery competitions will then benefit from advice given by experts in the organization of sports events.   FITA Communication  The participants of this year's Seminar
