Miami Dade Case Study

Being chosen as the host of the DRNC Convention even planned to run from 29th August to 3rd September is a great opportunity for Miami-Dade. Being a high-profile event, it will be of great economic value to the County as well as improve on its profile as a preferable host for such events. However, if our experience is anything to go by if not planned carefully, it could go south fast.
Over the last 40 years, Miami-Dade has hosted some of the mega international events among them the Super Bowls (1999, 2007, and 2011), Presidential Debates (2004), the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) Conference in 2003, and the Summit of the Americas in 1994.

Disturbances to the smooth running of event – disruption of the DRNC event is a threat because should the crowds get out of hand, it could even lead to the premature closing of event. iii. Terrorism- terrorism attacks are threats across the globe and the fact the DRNC is a high-profile event and will attract a huge number of people could also attract terrorists. iv. Negative media – media if not managed properly could do more harm than good because as they give information, they have no control to whom it gets to and they also tend to blow things out of proportion.
