Episode 61 - Enrico Fili, CEO, RCS Sports & Events DMCC - a podcast by Mass Participation World

On today’s episode of The Aid Station we head to Milan, Italy, to talk to Enrico Fili, CEO, RCS Sports & Events DMCC.

Usually based in Dubai where he heads up RCS operations for the region he had just flown home to spend time with his parents when I spoke to him.

Hear about the massive challenges that he faced when the UAE Tour became one of the first sports events to be cancelled on 27 February as a result of COVID-19 with two stages to go.

“With athletes and race staff quarantined in hotels we were working non-stop for days. I would turn on my phone and get 600 WhatsApp messages”.

“One of the most inspiring things was the collaboration and the way everyone worked together. Especially that there was never any finger pointing or blame towards the infected bike mechanics”.

Enrico’s most important piece of advice to anyone in the event industry “make sure that you have contact tracing in place”.
