planning of an event company
(Jucevičius, Patašienė and Patašium,
2014). Strengths and weaknesses will

opportunities and threats will analyze
the external components of ExCel
Exhibition Center regarding Olympics.

political party for regeneration was helpful.

external stakeholders was supportive.

supportive with potential regeneration and
redevelopment.

evaluation of regeneration.
 No holistic evaluation of performance of the
arrangements.

Opportunities
 Concentration for bringing local policies
and regeneration initiatives together was
rendered by Olympics.
 Organizers have an opportunity to develop
a holistic approach for regeneration and
planning.
 Additional investment in development
programmes can be made.

Threats
 Global recession and economic climate
change is a big threat for the
establishment.
 There is a potential conflict among local,

said that global event management industry has a
huge possibilities of growth not even in local event
