ROAD RACE MANAGEMENT RACE
DIRECTORS’ MEETING AND TRADE EXHIBIT SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER
Florida
will again play host to the Road
Race Management Race Directors’ Meeting and Trade Show, November 6 -
8. Thousands of race
officials, corporate sponsors, advertising and public relations
executives, and others interested in road running have attended this
annual fall gathering since it started in 1983.
“Advance interest is higher than ever for
our 25th Anniversary meeting and trade show.
Road Race Management has again recruited some of the sport’s
most experienced and articulate leaders to share their wealth of
knowledge,” said coordinator Jeff Darman.
Phil Stewart, Road
Race Management editor and publisher added, “Our
new site on the beach (Marriott Hollywood Beach Resort) offers a great
destination for event directors not only to obtain valuable information,
but also as a great spot to unwind and network.”
Many race committees reward committee members
with a trip to this meeting, finding it a great way to give key volunteers
a special treat while rejuvenating them for next year’s race.
The weekend offers informal “networking”
opportunities, and race officials also get a chance to “shop” for all
their equipment and service needs at the two-day Trade Exhibit in
conjunction with the meeting. Exhibits
will include awards, competitor numbers, banners, fencing, finish-line
timing services, computer products and web services, t-shirts, jackets and
other apparel, magazines and photographic services.
Some of this year’s sessions will cover
Marathon Relays, the “New Media,” Green Events, Post Finish-line
Planning, and Race Course Design and Management. The keynote speaker will
be Toni Reavis, well-known television and radio commentator, webcaster and
writer. The full program is detailed at www.rrm.com/rdm/rdm.htm.
The Road
Race Management meeting is supported in part by Ashworth Awards,
Atlanta Track Club, Britten, Inc., Gasparilla Distance Classic, Electric
City Printing, Gatorade, Leslie Jordan, Inc., MarathonFoto, realbuzz.com, Running
Network, The End Result Company, and the World’s Best 10K.
