Sports Events Management in Qatar - History, Present and Future

With the FIFA World Cup rapidly approaching, this lecture will cover the historical aspects of managing and hosting large sport events as well as the current and future implications for Qatar.

Our guest speakers for this event will be Dr. Danyel Reiche and Dr. Matthias Krug.
