Course Overview:

The methodologies and techniques used to deliver timely and accurate information in a complex, dynamic information environment is challenging to any community or organization hosting a mass gathering. 

The Sport and Special Event Public Information and Emergency Notification course brings planners, operators, communication professionals, government, public safety, and marketing professionals together in an effort to prepare and/ or enhance venue and event communication programs. 

The course prescribes best practices to common communication pitfalls and provides flexible and scalable solutions to a wide range of scenarios.

In the summer of 2028, Los Angeles will welcome the world for the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Games) where the best athletes from around the world will compete on the biggest stage in sports. The LA28 Games will mark the third time Los Angeles has hosted the Olympic Games, previously hosted in 1984 and 1932, and its first time to host the Paralympic Games.

The City of Los Angeles holds the bid for the 2028 Games and the contract with LA28, which is a private nonprofit entity that serves as the organizing committee for the Games. The sport competitions will utilize venues throughout the Los Angeles region, including in the Cities of Carson, Inglewood, and Long Beach, to name a few. In the months ahead, LA28 will announce additional venue assignments in the City of Los Angeles and elsewhere, including new sports that were added since LA28’s original 2017 Bid Plan.

While the City of Los Angeles is the official host, the Games and their impact will likely affect the entirety of Los Angeles County. Now is the time to take advantage of attending the NCS4 classes locally.
