Evaluating Event Management Practices Faculty mentor: Peter Smolianov
The objective of free mass-participation events hosted by Salem State University (SSU), i.e. Wellness U Multisport Festival and Generation Games, was to involve SSU students studying sport and recreation management in the development and implementation of new sporting event solutions targeting these social concerns. The goal for the Generation Games is to get many generations together for a day of fun and games.
This presentation shares SSU’s experience in implementing the project this year, while discussing implications for the community and the university as a whole. Surveys of event participants are being collected, yielding suggestions for future endeavors to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of attracting and retaining more participants in free mass-participation events.
