Edited by University of Queensland - 2021
This project aims to establish to what extent hosting of the Olympic Games generates a legacy of event management skills, knowledge and networks that support the hosting of other subsequent major events in the host city, creating an eventful city. In doing so, it used event legacy, eventful cities and event portfolios as underpinning literature, concepts and theoretical frameworks. A mixed methods approach incorporating both a Delphi Study and a series of case studies focusing on each of the eight Olympic Summer Games and Olympic Winter Games host cities between 1988 and 2000, was adopted to address the research questions. The study presents a set of 13 indicators of an event management skills and knowledge hosting legacy.
