The AISTS Sport Event Management and Organisation Seminar (SEMOS) is a four-day seminar offering an overview of the key tasks that the sports managers need to successfully plan, communicate and operate for organising sport events. It concludes with a very relevant detailed case study from a major international sporting event.

SEMOS has brought together the leaders of International Federations, with the experts of the AISTS group of institutions, including the International Olympic Committee, to help create a seminar that is both pertinent and practical, and recognises the increased expectations of the spectators, media, sponsors and television at major events.

SEMOS is organised by the AISTS upon request.
