A formal evaluation of business practices, leadership and approach to management at WestWorld of Scottsdale is beginning to percolate in an effort to find a sustainable approach for the community’s crown jewel event center.
The event center, which is at 16601 N. Pima Road, is home to keystone events showcasing the affluent cache of Scottsdale including Barrett-Jackson — The World’s Greatest Collector Car Auctions, The Arabian Horse Show and the Bentley Scottsdale Polo Championships: Horses and Horsepower amongst other events.
Over the past several years tourism officials, event organizers and municipal chieftains have come to the conclusion keystone events bring hundreds of millions of dollars into the community year after year — an assertion they claim is consistently bolstered by numerous economic studies.
