More than a sporting showcase

Any sporting event inevitably extends beyond the borders of simple athletic competition. A successful mix between participants, spectators, organisers, venues and rights holders is essential in order that the event acts as a powerful catalyst for change, in sporting terms as well as in terms of the development of the host nation or city.

Helping the hosts

What could you get from a sporting event? What are the risk factors or the conditions needed for success? How do you go about organising it? How do you perpetuate its effects, build a legacy? These are the types of questions which Keneo can help you to answer, putting together realistic then ambitious sporting event welcoming strategy.

Building up an effective bid

Bidding to host an event involves the preparation of a detailed feasibility study, especially as far as the expected costs/benefits (tangibles and intangibles) are concerned. With considerable experience in this particular field, Keneo will support you in studying the bid specifications and analysing the parameters necessary for you to make your decision, including the potential economic consequences. We then make our know-how and skills available to help you to put together your bid application and prepare you for the challenges that lie ahead during the bidding process (assessment visits and oral presentations, for example).

Assisting Federations and Organising Committees

A federation and an organising committee go through numerous stages, and require sound management to generate the operational, popular and financial success of the event.
With this in mind, Keneo puts its entire skillset at the disposal of organisers in order to optimise the resources and running of the project, taking into account set objectives such as planning, legal and organisational make-up, project management, budget control etc.

Planning events

Whatever of the size of your project, we at Keneo can adapt our expertise to your objectives. From operating a list of functions (co-managing human resources, marketing strategy etc.) to providing a thorough expertise on a precise subject (volunteer programme, management of technological projects etc.), we are careful to offer you tailor-made solutions.
