Methods of distributing sports supplements, the history of University Fan Clubs, and issues related to organizing competitions, transporting athletes, and providing meals during away games – these are just some of the topics of the 2nd National Conference “Logistics in Sport”. The event, organized by the University Fan Club of the Poznań School of Logistics, is an opportunity to meet Polish athletes who will not only share their experiences but also provide a different perspective on sport.
The conference will take place on November 20, 2008. The goal of the event is to show young people (students and high school pupils) the “behind-the-scenes” of sport. To show that sport is not just what we see during competitions, Olympics, rallies, or tournaments. These events are preceded by months of hard work, which is often an excellent example of logistics in practice.
Just like during the inaugural edition, this year the organizers will host well-known personalities from the world of sport. So far, participants who have confirmed their attendance include Piotr Reiss (KKS “Lech Poznań” footballer), Daniel Pytel (Polish Vice-Champion in speedway racing), Tadeusz Wiencek (member of the Polish Speedway Association), Jarosław Kiliński (Head of the “Wiara Lecha” Association), as well as Radosław Majchrzak and Bartłomiej Tomaszewski from PBG “Basket” Poznań. During breaks in the proceedings, the dance group “Kolejorz Girls” will perform.
The topics of the presentations include: “Match choreographies at games”, “The role, distribution, and promotion of supplements in sport”, and “Logistics in Formula 1”. During the conference, there will also be an auction, with all proceeds donated to the treatment of two-year-old Zuzia Szkudlarek. As a result of brain hypoxia, the girl is not developing properly and requires constant medical care (http://www.zuzannaszkudlarek.jms.pl/).
All sports fans, enthusiasts of active leisure, and those who would like to look at logistics from a different perspective are invited to participate in the event. Participation in the venture is free; simply express your desire to attend the conference via email (to the address: ukk@wsl.com.pl).
