MOTORSPORTS COUNCIL CONFERENCE TO OFFER EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS
Rossburg,
OH (Jan. 26) – Members and supporters of the Ohio
Motorsports Council (OMC) have selected Saturday, February
27, as the date for their annual Spring Conference, which
this year will include a ‘workshop’ theme with
guest speakers and moderated roundtable discussions.
To be held at the Courtyard by Marriott, just off I-270
on the West side of Columbus (OH), the event is open to
all motorsports operations, regardless of size, shape or
surface.
Track operators are encouraged to bring key staff members,
as a variety of topics will offer the unique opportunity
to discuss topics, share ideas and learn from each other.
An informal opening reception, with a cash bar, will take
place the evening before, February 26, and the Courtyard
by Marriott has offered a special overnight room rate for
the conference attendees.
Keynote subjects include Marketing 101, with a representative
from the Columbus Clippers coming in to detail concepts
that have worked for them towards filling the bleachers.
Also on the docket will be a session led by Charlene Kriebel
of SYSCO Foods, who will address profitable food items,
complete with samples, to help increase the concession stand
yield.
Just prior to the luncheon break, Kathy Rhoades, an underwriter
for K & K Insurance, will also take an in-depth look
at how facilities can work together with the insurance companies
to reduce claims and insurance premiums.
Following the break, a panel of assorted leaders from within
the industry will address many key issues of the day-to-day
operation of a motorsports entity with their Common Sense
Business Practices theme.
Concurrent with each strategic session, moderators will
be leading roundtable discussions in adjoining rooms on
such topics as scoring systems and forms, announcers, ticketing
forms and accountability reports, controlling the ‘freebie’
gate and, of current interest, social marketing outlets
such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.
OMC membership is not required for attendance; however,
advance registration is. Further information and registration
details may be obtained by contacting Mike Garrepy at 4545
Arendell Place in Columbus, OH 43231.
