Event Managers

UK Sport is committed to ensuring the UK has a sports events workforce equipped to meet the demands and requirements of staging major events and a successful Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth Games. As well as co-ordinating the UK’s efforts to bid and stage world class sporting events on home soil, the Events Team also have a role to provide specialist technical support and expertise to local organising committees. In addition, London 2012 has resulted in a doubling of financial resources for investing in events, thus increasing the number of sports events planned to be hosted throughout the UK and increasing UK Sport's engagement with the event organisers who are assigned the task of staging a successful event. 

Consequently UK Sport provides a tailored event managers development programme, which was introduced in 2007. The programme includes a series of workshops and observer tours designed to support development and networking opportunities for Event Managers within National Governing Bodies. The programme has the overall aim of capturing, harnessing and transferring event-staging knowledge between sports for the greater benefit of all those involved. In addition seminars are also run for our City and Regional partners, to explore opportunities for co-operation and networking.
