leveraging legacies from sports mega-events, university of Birmingham
30th November and 1st December 2012 Winterbourne House, University of Birmingham
This event brought together experts to discuss how previous states have leveraged sports mega-events and what can future hosts learn from the past. To this end, the first day explores previous international experience of hosting sports mega-events with leading UK-based and international scholars from South Africa, India, the US, Canada and China presenting their ideas. The 2nd day of the workshop was given over to a focus on Brazil and their hosting of not one but two major sports 'megas'.
