On 6th November, six of THEi student who studying recreation management join a large event called The Bloomberg Square Mile Relay - Hong Kong. This event was hold in Central. Bloomberg Square Mile Relay Run had held in London and Singapore for 8 years and this was the first time held in Hong Kong. This was the first time we work as assistants in a large event and know more about how a event actual run. And I think this the most successful event I've ever joint.
In the morning of 5th November, we have a briefing about the run down and setting of the event. And the venue layout started at the afternoon and I went there at night to help for the set up section. The helping of set up section was useful to help me work more fluent in the event on the next day. On 6th November, my main work duty was to assist with stage and overage program management to let the event run fluently. Although learn many knowledge in the school, there's still many things that I've never handle. You need to have those kind of experience so that you will know how to handle. Accumulate experiences were really important to the future career.
Eighth tips of successful sports and recreation management: Accumulate experiences of recreation management as much as you can.
I believe that there are lots of the difficulties and challenges of being an event organizer. As we need to consider the different stakeholders within the event such as the organization main sponsors, media, participants as well as audiences. Moreover, there are also plenty of the pre settings, human resources as well as the promotion and debriefings. Having a good arrangement on different department and well developed plan can always need the event to become success. However, incident may occur anywhere and anytime. As a result, having an effective risk assessment flow can actually reduce the cost and injuries of the company.
It's great to work with you at that day. I have learnt a lot from the organizer, hope you also have learnt from the event!
That's my honored to work with you too! I have learnt a lot of managment skills on that day and I think it's helpful for my future career!
