Thus, the growing use of webinars is driving the event management platform market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on North America Event Management Platform Market:

The COVID-19 crisis has drastically forced event planners to switch from in-person meetings to virtual meetings.

Panel discussion is part of Pride Month events – Welcome to the City of Fort Worth

Published on June 15, 2022

CITY NEWS diversity-pride month story1.jpg

In celebration of Pride Month, a livestream panel discussion about bringing your authentic self to work will be presented from noon to 1 p.m. Thursday, June 23. The discussion will feature LGBTQ city employees and allies.

The event can be viewed live on FWTV and the city’s YouTube channel.

About Pride Month

Pride Month was first celebrated in 1970 to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan. The Stonewall Uprising was a tipping point for the Gay Liberation Movement in the United States. In the United States, the last Sunday in June was initially celebrated as Gay Pride Day, but the actual day was flexible. In major cities across the nation, the day soon grew to encompass a monthlong series of events.

Today, celebrations include pride parades, picnics, parties, workshops, symposia and concerts, and LGBTQ Pride Month events attract millions of participants around the world. Memorials are held during this month for members of the community who have been lost to hate crimes or HIV/AIDS. The purpose of the commemorative month is to recognize the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally and internationally.

In 1994, a coalition of education-based organizations in the United States designated October as LGBT History Month. In 1995, a resolution passed by the General Assembly of the National Education Association included LGBT History Month within a list of commemorative months. National Coming Out Day (Oct. 11), as well as the first March on Washington in 1979, are commemorated in the LGBTQ community during LGBT History Month.

Daphne Bramham: Is paying the high price for mega-events worth it?

Share via email

As Vancouver waits to find out how many 2026 World Cup matches it will host, a new study puts the cost of mega-events into perspective.

Publishing date:

There is no doubt that hosting some of the men’s World Cup soccer games in 2026 will provide Vancouver with a spectacle unlike most others we get to experience.

Soccer fans — especially at matches at this level — are a show unto themselves. They will be wearing outrageous costumes, singing songs, waving flags — hopefully without the hooliganism that has attended some other international matches, and without a similar ticketing debacle that recently resulted in fans being pepper-sprayed by Paris police.

Next Thursday, the Fédération Internationale de Football Association will announce whether Vancouver will get three or five of the 60 matches, and which teams will be playing.

But as people breathlessly await the announcement, a study published recently by three University of Lausanne researchers puts into perspective not only B.C.’s $250-million share of the spectacle, but Vancouver’s potential bid for the 2030 Winter Olympics.

Lead author Martin Mueller and his colleagues looked at the costs and revenues from 14 Summer Olympic Games, 15 Winter Olympics and 14 World Cups held between 1964 and 2018.

With combined costs of more than $120 billion US and combined revenue from broadcast rights, tickets and sponsorships of nearly $70 billion US, the average return on investments was a loss of 38 per cent.

“Are the Olympics and the football World Cup profitable for the IOC and FIFA (who own the rights to these events)? Yes, very much so,” they write.

“Are they profitable for the organizing committees that need to put them on? Sometimes, but not very often. For the host city and government? Hardly ever.”

Here’s how it works:

For World Cup events, all of the revenue goes to FIFA, with the organizing committee bearing most of the operational costs. For the Olympics, revenue goes to both the IOC and the organizing committee (although not necessarily equally), with the costs paid by the organizing committee and the host government.

In economic terms, these events have a structural deficit. That means they are not financial viable without external subsidies. And it means that the problem is systemic, rather than the result of poor decision-making by the hosts.

But the study’s structural deficit figures likely fall far short of the real losses because security expenses and other “indirect costs” were not included in the calculation, even though the study notes that indirect costs typically range from $1 million to $1 billion.

The study defines indirect costs as Olympic villages, media centres, and other “event-induced costs” such as new public transportation, highways, improved power supplies, and so on.

But indirect costs for the Vancouver’s 2010 Winter Games were far higher: the $2.1-billion Canada Line to the airport, the $883-million Convention Centre built for use as the media centre, and the $883-million expedited improvements to Sea-to-Sky Highway.

Based on their findings, the authors urge citizens and politicians to think differently about the “opportunity” being offered to host mega-events.

“They are not offering the rights to a profit-making business deal, but asking for subsidies for a loss-making venture.”

Citing other studies, the Swiss authors note that mega-event proponents often fall prey to “optimism bias”. Others engage in “strategic misrepresentation”.

That misrepresentation is possible because of “a principal-agent situation and information asymmetry, in which the agent (for example the city bidding for a mega-event) knows more about the real costs of a mega-event than the principal (the taxpayers), but communicates a lower cost estimate to make hosting the event more palatable to the public.”

Studies such as these, along with more media attention paid to the skyrocketing costs of recent mega-events and a growing number of venues that are never used after the events, have caused taxpayers to be less enthusiastic about being hosts, even if politicians aren’t.

In the past eight years, votes in plebiscites and referenda have quashed Olympic bids in Calgary (2018), Rome (2017), Hamburg (2015), and Oslo (2014).

And it is why the IOC has recently been urging frugality by potential host cities. It has also flattened its lengthy and expensive bidding process, with the (perhaps) unintended consequence that the new system is both shorter and less transparent.

As for the 2026 World Cup, Premier John Horgan withdrew Vancouver’s name in 2018 citing FIFA’s demand that the province “write a blank cheque.”

Chicago, Minneapolis and Glendale, Calif. also dropped out that year because of cost concerns and what were described as FIFA’s “heavy-handed demands” that included visa-free entry to FIFA representatives and exemptions from taxes and labour laws.

But three months ago, Vancouver was back in, with Horgan telling reporters that FIFA was no longer “looking for the sea and the sky in their ask from host cities.”

However, turfing the fake grass at B.C. Place — literally putting real stuff over top of the fake — was one of FIFA’s non-negotiable demands, even though the Crown-owned B.C. Pavilion Corp. spent $3.1 million completing the installation of artificial grass earlier this year.

So, good luck snagging a World Cup ticket. But even if you don’t, enjoy the party because you’re going to be paying for it.

Who is Michael Buffer? Major events, net worth of boxing announcer

Who is Michael Buffer? Major events, net worth of boxing announcer

“Let’s get ready to rumble.”

Those words have become synonymous with boxing events, as has the voice and creator of that catchphrase, Michael Buffer.

Buffer has been a ring announcer since the 1980s. During that time, he has been ringside for a number of major sporting events like boxing matches, Stanley Cup playoff games, World Series games, Indy 500 races and many more.

But there’s been one event Buffer has said he’s always wanted to call: the Super Bowl.

“A Super Bowl would be great,” Buffer told Sports Illustrated.

Buffer announced the start of the Rams’ wild-card matchup against the Cardinals. He then kicked off the NFC Championship for Los Angeles against the 49ers. Could this year’s game be next?

“I think it’s all decided what’s going to happen right down to every split second,” Buffer told SI.

Michael Buffer’s major events

Buffer has primarily deployed his catchphrase and iconic voice at boxing matches. He began his announcing career in the early 1980s, and quickly became the announcer for Top Rank events. By the late 1980s, he was the primary announcer at casinos owned by Donald Trump.

Buffer has announced fights featuring some of the sport’s most prominent boxers, including Sugar Ray Leonard, Evander Holyfield, Floyd Mayweather and Canelo Alvarez. Buffer has been the ring announcer for DAZN fights since 2018, and has previously had deals with HBO and NBC Sports Network.

But Buffer has also announced the start of several major sporting events. He was an announcer for the 1999 Indianapolis 500, 2017 NBA Finals, 2017 United States Grand Prix, the 2018 Stanley Cup Finals and 2019 National League Championship Series, among others.

He has also made appearances on “Saturday Night Live,” “American Idol” and “Deal or No Deal.”

Michael Buffer net worth

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Buffer has a net worth of $400 million. It says that he makes between $25,000 and $100,000 per fight, though occasionally he has made up to $1 million.

The majority of his career earnings have actually come from a trademark on his catchphrase. ABC News reported that his trademark has earned him more than $400 million in revenue by selling it to music, video games and merchandise.
