Mike delivers keynote on "Major Sport Events and Social Change" at the International Conference on Events (ICE) in Warsaw, Poland

Although events are improving approaches to capturing immediate economic, social and environmental impacts we are still at an early stage of truly understanding how to fully capture and articulate the longitudinal field configuring legacies events, particularly major events, produce. This means organisers and funders are unable tell the full story, for good and for bad, and we need to radically re-think the way we present how major events reconfigure three types of fields: industrial, geographical, and social fields. My talk will address this problem and provide some ideas as to how we might do this.
