Event Management Course

Events play a key part in promoting badminton as a dynamic, attractive sport. Current and potential fans may be engaged by viewing live matches in their area, or through media coverage of local, national or world events. The more top-quality events are held, the more fans can be engaged and involved in the sport.

High-quality events are complex in terms of organisation – before, during and after – and require attention to a large number of details.

In order to help national federations improve the quality of their events or upgrade to higher-level events, the BWF has created a series of educational resources for event organisers.

The sixth edition of World Academy of Sport Level 1 Event Management course was conducted from 5th to 7th October 2023 in Glasgow, Scotland.

The Events Programme consists of:

• Introductory Event Management Course (online) – providing a general introduction to BWF events 
• Level 1 Event Management Course (face-to-face) – aimed at event organisers wishing to stage Level 4 events. The first face-to-face course was held in Prague from 24-26 November 2017.
• Level 2 Event Management Course (face-to-face) – aimed at event organisers interested in upgrading Level 4 events to Level 3
