Event Services Companies Make Planning Nontraditional Sporting Events Easier |
Posted: April 2, 2019 |
Planning any type of sporting event has its challenges. There are a myriad of details that need to be considered and none of them can fall through the cracks. One of the most important details that event promoters need to get right is the venue. A venue can make or break an event,but not all events have venues that were specifically built with them in mind. If you’re planning a basketball tournament or a soccer camp, for example, there are typically nearby venues that are built to accommodate your event. The venue’s staff likely has a lot of experience and can help you set up and run a successful event. But what about events that aren’t as traditional, say, a drone race or a hackathon? Both events would require a large venue, but each would also have other requirements that the venue and venue staff may not be able to handle without outside help. That’s where a professional venue sourcing and event logistics team can step in and help. They will start by helping you find the best venue for your event—one that has the space and availability—but then they can help you transform that venue into a space that will meet your requirements and support your event goals. Cameron Ungar, owner of Stylehawk Event Services, knows all about executing nontraditional sporting events. He has helped event promoters with events of all types, from CrossFit tournaments to cheerleading competitions. One of his current clients, Fight 2 Win, puts on Brazilian jiu-jitsu competitions. But these aren’t like most grappling tournaments you’ve seen or heard about. They are high-energy, Vegas-style events that require just the right type of venue. And since they are in a different city almost every weekend, they need the help of a professional venue sourcing company like Stylehawk that can help them locate suitable venues in cities across the United States. Ungar said, “We love working with our clients who put on more nontraditional sporting events. It gives us a chance to do what we do best—act as creative problem solvers for our clients! In working with clients like Fight 2 Win, for example, we find them the perfect venues that can meet their very specific requirements, and we can also help them source outside contractors when needed. If the venue doesn’t have in-house food and beverage service, we bring in an outside contractor and pull the needed alcohol permits, or if they need added security or rental equipment, we can coordinate with outside vendors.” Ungar continued, “There are a lot of event promoters out there that don’t even know that companies like ours exist. They are attempting to do everything on their own, including venue sourcing, event coordination, staff and volunteer management, and administrative tasks. Unless all of these tasks are in your wheelhouse, bringing in a professional events services team could be the best thing you could do for your event, especially if your event doesn’t fit into a tidy little box.” If you’re planning a large sporting event, like a tournament, camp, or other type of competition, contact an event specialist that can help you with all the details. It could be the best phone call you ever make!
