I Like It Events · Events with emotion
I Like It Events brings sporting events to life, connects the right partners and brings people together — from the first idea to the final moment.
Mario Theissl
I’m an event manager and connector from Carinthia, Austria. For years I’ve developed running and sporting events, brought teams together and built partnerships around shared goals.
I see the big picture without losing sight of a cable, a race bib or the running order.
I bring a network that helps make events happen: contacts in broadcast teams, fan TV, media, sponsorship, production, technical operations and event delivery. I also have my own equipment for selected assignments.
What I do
One point of contact who brings strategy, people and the practical details together.
Event concept, programme, budget, schedule, permits and reliable processes.
Venues, infrastructure, technical production, logistics, safety, staffing and on-site delivery.
Partner acquisition, tailored packages, activation and direct sponsor relationships.
Hosts, music, shows, fan zones and the moments people remember.
Press, social media, live streams, fan TV, storytelling and visible partner activation.
Registration, information, race bib collection, support and a memorable finish.
