Managing Large-scale Sports & Event Operations in a New Normal
The professional sports landscape has changed dramatically since the onset of the COVID-19 health pandemic. Hearing about cleaning, testing and tracing are now as common as watching goals, timeouts or fouls. Innovation to bring back the game has been in high gear. Now, as global professional sports leagues return to play, they’ve come back under different rules and safety protocols, with new technology partnerships playing a major role in staying compliant and keeping players and fans safe.
Pandemic aside, the trend in the sports and entertainment industry has been towards sports league operations getting larger and more complex while media and entertainment companies invest heavily in global tours, new attractions and state-of-the-art theme parks. As sports, media and entertainment organizations scale their businesses in our new normal, they face increased risks managing bigger events and sprawling operations. Delivering quality live events and unique entertainment experiences remain top priorities for these well-known companies.
Robust operational systems are vital to mitigating evolving risks and protecting the reputation of any organization responsible for producing large scale events and entertainment experiences.
