MANAGING THE SUPERBOWL

Session Information

In this session, Frank will join us via video, detailing his work as the event director for nine Super Bowl events from 2004 - 2014. Although the Super Bowl presents as a similar event each year to a television audience of up to 114.4 million people, the event itself changes dramatically annually. Each year the venue and city changes, and a new event team of to 19,500 people whom Frank has never worked with before need to be engaged in order to run the event. This includes city officials, police, ticketing, concierge, concession and multiple event managers.

Frank will detail the planning, techniques, training and dynamics employed to get the new team in place and ready to roll out the event annually. Frank will walk through a number of scenarios that detail just how important it is to engage all the people involved in your event, especially those that are front-facing to your event audience.
