Stanford 20/20

Stanford 20/20

Perhaps the biggest event to date that Kelly Holding has organized and managed is the Stanford 20/20 Cricket Tournament.  In essence Rhonda and Laurie-Ann took Sir Allen Stanford’s vision for the Tournament and ran with it, creating an event that captivated the entire cricket community in the Caribbean and indeed around the world.  The partners were the Event Directors for both the 2006 and 2008 Tournaments and executed every aspect of the programme. This included creating the legends programme; overseeing the funding scheme for the countries; communicating with all the countries regularly on all aspects of their participation; organizing the teams’ travel, accommodation and transportation; managing all media communications and press conferences; organizing all of the entertainment for the matches; coordinating the volunteers for the event; creating tickets and managing ticket sales; executing the public relations, advertising and marketing campaigns for the event; maintaining the Stanford2020.com website; ordering all of the team uniforms, equipment, event merchandise and promotional items; negotiating  agreements with suppliers and the West Indies Cricket Board; and setting up the professional team programme. During both tournaments, thousands gathered each night over the six week period to watch electrifying, exciting, entertaining cricket and millions watched it around the world.  Truly a phenomenal event that mesmerised the region.  Visit www.Stanford2020.com and see for yourself!
