300 SMS School Students Recruited by Wetix to Operate Ticketing for the Largest Global Sports Event in 2024

As part of the global sports event taking place in Paris in 2024, the Sports Management School and 300 of its students have been selected to participate in the ticketing management of the event. The students will collaborate as ticket operators to welcome millions of spectators throughout the competition. At the dawn of this event, SMS is offering its students a unique opportunity to be a part of it!

The program comprises four key actions:

1. Pedagogical Support: Six 1.5-hour modules delivered by a Wetix speaker to SMS students on ticketing-related topics, along with a practical case or thesis theme to be supervised. 
2. Specific Training provided on-site before the mission by ticketing managers in Paris in 2024. 
3. On-site Deployment: Positions in stands, at entrances, or at ticketing points, with roles starting either 7 days or 1 day before the first events depending on the assigned position and site. 
4. Additional Benefit: Engagement of a student in an apprenticeship at Wetix for one year starting from the 2023 academic year, focusing on project management! 

Finally, a dedicated seminar for all SMS students will be organized by the MBA 2 - Marketing and Events Specialty. They will work on organizing an Olympic week, including hosting students from Lausanne, site visits, conferences, and sports activities.

"The SMS students can say, 'I was there!'"

Statement from David Mignot, Academic Director of the Sports Management School:

"The signing of the partnership with Wetix is a major opportunity for the integration of the Sports Management School and its students into the world of Grand International Sports Events (GESI). In addition to the presence of our students at the world's largest sports event, they will also benefit from Wetix's experience in innovative training content, enjoy the Olympic week organized by MBA 2 students, but above all, live a unique and extraordinary experience. The SMS students can say, 'I was there!' Thanks to the Wetix teams for their trust."

"For the first time in the history of this event, future talents will be mobilized for an operational phase."

Statement from Rémi Leonetti - CEO of Wetix:

"For the first time in the history of this event, future talents will be mobilized for an operational phase. It is a pride and a great source of motivation to work alongside SMS to enable 300 of their students to handle the reception of holders of 13 million tickets across more than 1000 sessions. We are confident and fully committed to supporting them in providing students with the keys to success to participate in what will be a national pride in the eyes of the world."
