ST07_02/ST08_01 – Managing Sport Events and Participation
(co-sponsored by International Management SIG-07 and Managing Sport SIG-08)
What does the future of events look like? We are witnessing globally the devastating impact of the Coronavirus pandemic on the meetings and event industry. Hosting and managing large or small events is, and will continue to be, in the spotlight of political and health-related considerations when it comes to disease spreading and social distancing requirements. This adds to the existing unique management challenges in the meetings and event industry, for example issues of event bidding, corruption, participants safety, participation (athletes, spectators), event design, sponsorship, digital transformation, facilities, environmental footprint, or social and financial impacts.

ST02_04/ST08_02 – Sport Governance
(co-sponsored by Corporate Governance SIG-02 and Managing Sport SIG-08)
For the last two decades, sport governance has developed into a considerable field of research, and has raised interest of many researchers and practitioners worldwide, advancing knowledge and best practices in sport organisations. Sport Governance is understood as the exercise of power within sport organisations or (inter)national sport systems which provides the structure through which these organisations or systems are controlled, directed and regulated. We invite empirical and theoretical contributions that develop a critical analysis of sport governance and/or practical application of good governance principles using a range of different theoretical and methodological approaches.

T08_03 – Sport and Sustainability
The relation between sport and sustainability is a topic that has raised in the recent years a lot of interest in academics as well as practitioners. Several sport organisations are committed to the management of sustainability issues and many sport events have been arranged adopting sustainability practices. However, in the academic literature, very few studies have investigated the relation between sustainability and sport. Deepening the relationships between sport and sustainability under the social, economic or environmental point of view is thus the main aim of this track proposal.
