What are mega-events?
Mega-events, defined here as events with more than 50,000 attendees, are becoming more common and have grown significantly in the last ten years, with some experiencing substantial increases in attendance and popularity.
Larger events are inherently more complicated, requiring additional security and facility concerns, as well as presenting greater budgetary and marketing pressures.
Such considerations are not typically addressed in most event management educational programs, but are the specific focus of this master’s program.
