Instead of campaigning for more sporting events to be hosted by the city, here is my take on what should be happening:
City management needs to form an organization/committee whose sole responsibility would be to lobby and garner support for international trade shows & expos (MIPIM, CES, E3, etc) to be brought to Vancouver.
In addition, the city needs to foster its own local events/ trade shows (Auto Shows, Fashion Shows, Mining Expos, etc) so that they gain recognition and acclaim from the international community.
By implementing these initiatives it would not only inject millions of dollars of revenue into the city but it would also establish Vancouver with a more significant renown on the world stage.
