Programming Public Sessions
Presented by Kevin McCormack – President, Emerald Sports Management
Wednesday, September 11 – Register Now
10 a.m. PT; 11 a.m. MT; 12 p.m. CT; 1 p.m. ET
Join Kevin as he discusses the essential role of public sessions in a facility. Public sessions can be an inviting and fun entertainment option for community members if scheduled and managed properly. They also serve as an important feeder program for the arena. Management must emphasize their sessions’ entertainment value, customer service, and safety to compete with other activities in the community. A customer’s experience at a public session may determine whether or not they return to the arena and potentially engage in ice skating or hockey as a lifetime sport. Gain insight into how you can ensure that your public sessions are successful!
