In an effort to improve on its effectiveness and expand its internal capacity to deliver high level sporting events successfully to the Cricketing public, WIPA will be sending its Events Manager, Ms. Monique Ragbir to The Sport Event Management and Organisation Seminar (SEMOS) and conference, in Lausanne conducted by the International Academy of Sport Science & Technology (AISTS), from February 1st to 5th 2010.

The Sport Event Management and Organisation Seminar (SEMOS) offers an overview of the key tasks that sports managers need to successfully plan, communicate and operate when organising sport events.

SEMOS brings together leaders of International Sport Federations and other experts of the AISTS network, including the International Olympic Committee, to create a seminar that is both pertinent and practical, and recognises the increased expectations of spectators, media and sponsors at major events.

The presenters this year have been chosen from the leaders in the fields of Sport Management, Event Management, Sport Marketing and Brand Management, as well as, Broadcasting and New Media.

The seminar and conference covers a complete spectrum of cutting edge topics in sport including Project Management, Risk Management, Event Operation & Infrastructure and Event Marketing & Communication.

President and CEO Dinanath Ramnarine reiterated that “WIPA continues to seek out avenues that would allow it to improve its ability to deliver on its goals to all stakeholders. Seminars like this will only serve to enhance and build on the extensive institutional capacity of our operations while at the same time creating an opportunity for us to invest in our employees.”
