Sports Mega-Events Conference
EDST faculty member Rob Vanwynsberghe will co-chair a conference on sports mega-events in November 2011. This second annual two-day think tank will meet to hear presentations for two days, on the subject of event impacts, leverage, and legacy. The event itself is not open to the public; following the event, each paper will be revised and the discussants will edit and collect them as a book for publishing by the University of Texas Press.
