Bonjour,
Je travaile depuis plus de 20ans sur de grands événements sportifs comme les JO sur des aspects technologie, telecoms, new media (y compris l’expérience Quokka Sports)et puis plus récemment l’organisation générale de tels événements et les phases de candidature.
Je souhaiterais vous contacter afin de discuter “transmedia”, opportunités de spectacles itiniérants, opportunités d’accompagnement actif d’événements pour créer de nouvelles formes de “stotytelling” dès les phases de candidatures .
Cordialement
