<p>Evaluation of drop-in engagement activities, particularly trying to demonstrate impact or change, is difficult given their transient nature and many logistical factors. Many typical evaluation techniques such as surveys are often unsuitable and current best practice recommends integrating evaluation methods into the activity itself. We present a novel implementation and analysis of an established evaluation method, which has the ability to demonstrate change even from a drop-in activity.</p><p>A space soundscapes exhibit saw young families taken on a journey experiencing the real sounds of near-Earth space recorded by satellites – normally inaudible to humans due to their weakness and extremely low pitch. Grafitti walls were placed at the start and end of this journey where participants were prompted by event staff to reflect on what they think space is like. Thematic analysis of the words and drawings from the two walls showed a change from obvious space-themed bodies and typical misconceptions of the lack of sound in space to much more reflective and reactionary results afterwards. Applying quantitative linguistics shows an evolution of the distribution of words which demonstrates a greater diversity following the experience. Similar techniques have been applied to evaluating children’s language as they age, however, we are unaware of this being applied to public engagement activities before. We therefore propose that these methods may be useful in evaluating other drop-in engagement activities and demonstrating the impact that they had.</p>

This case focuses on the sponsorship sales aspect of the 2013 International Triathlon Union World Duathlon Championships in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The case outlines the process of acquiring the right to host the event and creating/implementing a sponsorship sales strategy for the event. The case provides background on the sport of duathlon and the city of Ottawa’s capacity to host an international sport event of this level. This case recognizes that securing sponsorship is a major challenge that many small sport organizations and sport events face. Strategies are presented to show how these sport organizations can actively promote their offerings to overcome this challenge. Intended for graduate and undergraduate students in sport management, event management, and marketing, information for this case was obtained from interviews with event staff, secondary research, and documentation provided by the event organizing committee. It will be necessary for students to use critical thinking to provide feedback to the organizing committee about how they can target and acquire sponsors for the 2013 International Triathlon Union World Duathlon Championships.

Abstract Prior studies have reported barriers to meeting the sexual needs of older adults within skilled-nursing facilities, such as a lack of privacy, lack of supportive practices and policies, and judgement or discomfort on the part of the staff (Doll, 2013; Hajjar & Kamel, 2003). In 2008, Doll and colleagues assessed the scope of sexual behaviors, staff perceptions of and responses to such behaviors, and whether facilities had a sexual policy in place in SNFs in the state of Kansas (Doll, 2013). In the present study, an online survey was distributed to the same population to provide an updated assessment of sexual behaviors, policies, and practices. Of 60 survey respondents, 62.7% reported knowledge of individual sexual acts (e.g., masturbation) within the past year and 34.5% reported interactional (between two or more residents) sexual acts. When encountering a sexual event, staff were most likely to report the incident to an administrator (76.7%) and treat residents with respect (70.0%), while 35.0% and 41.7% were expected to respond with embarrassment and discomfort, respectively. Only 40% of administrators reported having a policy related to sexual expression. Findings indicate that staff are likely to respond differently to LGBTQ residents due to discomfort and those living with cognitive impairment due to concerns related to consent. The proportion of facilities in Kansas with policies related to sexual expression has increased from 26% to 40% in the past 12 years, but there remains a need for greater specificity of sexuality-related policies and trainings.

Abstract Multispecies events, like Landsmót, the National Championships of the Icelandic horse, pose interesting practical and logistical challenges for event managers who must ensure that safety and nonhuman animal welfare are prioritized alongside other aspects of event design and management. This chapter uses Goffman's (1959) dramaturgical concepts of 'front stage', 'backstage' and 'offstage' to consider the types of interspecies encounters that can occur in different contexts around an event site. Drawing on data from ethnographic observations and interviews with horse breeders and event staff, the chapter discusses some of the issues that can arise in trying to manage those interactions in ways that recognize the different needs of human and nonhuman participants, whilst still delivering a successful and entertaining event.
