- Check-In: Comprehensive accommodation management tool. First introduced at the 1994 FIFA World Cup USA™, where we were responsible for the largest hotel operation in the history of sporting events, using Check-In to manage 3.2 million room nights across 600 hotels. As our event experience has grown, Check-In has evolved to cater for the exacting standards required by the biggest events rights-holders.
- TPS: Travel and Protocol Services tool to manage event time travel, transport and protocol needs for an entire delegation.
Experience:
- With our event portfolio we represent one of, if not the, most experienced sports event management companies in the world.
- The majority of our staff are highly experienced, multi-lingual and with at least 15 events, and in some cases over 30 events in their resume. Many of the core staff have been working with the company for over 15 years. Joining from diverse multinational backgrounds and bringing with them a wealth of event knowledge and skills.
- When working with new events, we look to supplement this experience by recruiting people with local knowledge and/or experience of the sports specific requirements of the event.
