Olympic Games IQ: A 25 page free guide has been released on operating successful hospitality and program management services during large sporting events.
After running very successful Olympic Hospitality and Program Management services during the Vancouver 2010 Games, Canada-based Cantrav Services was asked to share the knowledge gained during this experience.
In response, Cantrav’s President, George Bartel, commissioned a comprehensive 25 page “Games IQ”. Initially distributed in hard copy to the company’s largest clients, Games IQ provides decision makers with the tools to prepare and execute effectively during an Olympic-sized event.
While the booklet focuses on the Vancouver 2010 Games, the information can also be applied to other large destination events.
