Note
Off to Latvia via Istanbul tonight for the IOF HLES Sat/Sun.
Now that the final schedule for sessions is out, I'm more interested in some of the Sunday sessions. Lars Lindstrom is giving a talk about what a teams expectations of the organizers is, and then Hans Jorgen Kvale is talking about how marketing can be a game changer.
The teams expectations talk is interesting to me because we have to always remember that we organize events for the athletes first and then fit in all the logistics and financial and marketing requirements around them. I'm interested to hear what he has to say about the balance of those requirements.
Saturday is full of interesting talks, but I think I'm going to take the most away from Sunday.
Alex has told me I'm not allowed to buy a rug in Istanbul :(
