Sports ETA taps 4FRONT as official innovation and marketing partner
CINCINNATI (March 3, 2021) – Sports ETA, the trade association for the sports events and tourism industry, announced today an official partnership with 4FRONT to guide the association in offering new innovative education and marketing programs to its national membership.
“4FRONT has been a long-time partner of Sports ETA offering cutting edge programming for our members, which have all earned rave reviews,” said Al Kidd, President & CEO of Sports ETA. “We are thrilled that 4FRONT will serve as the Official Innovation Engine of Sports ETA.”
In 2020, 4FRONT created two new certificate programs for Sports ETA: Sports Tourism Innovation Certificate and the Sports Tourism Analytics Certificate to launch Sports ETA’s new education portfolio, the Sports Tourism Learning Institute, and its Sports Tourism Strategist designation, formerly known as CSEE.
The Sports Tourism Innovation Certificate is a four-part program that provides a virtual learning opportunity for participants to think strategically, boldly, creatively, and differently about their organization’s business. It is an opportunity for every participant to have a voice, take away inspirational ideas, continue to get better, and most importantly, to have fun! Although designed with the sports events and tourism industry in mind, the principles of these sessions are universally applicable to any line of business.
The Sports Tourism Analytics Certificate provides a virtual learning opportunity for participants to think strategically about utilizing analytics to accelerate their business and solve challenges. It is an opportunity for every participant to build their confidence and knowledge of data and analytics through a friendly, collaborative discussion that breaks down barriers of intimidation and inspires with actionable next steps.
For those interested in either certificate, Sports ETA will offer a sneak peek of each course at no cost to members. Participants will be able to purchase the remaining segments of the course, and upon completion earn 4 Sports Tourism Strategist credits.
