Throughout this course, you will work on a series of assignments related to the planning of a sports-related event. You will select an existing sports-related event in your geographical area. The event does not need to be large in scope or scale, but it does need to be extensive enough that all of the steps in the event planning process are utilized. With permission from the event organizer, you will use event-related data and assume the fictional role of the event planner in order to complete the assignments and gain experience with the core business practices that are essential to the event planning process.
