The general concepts are exactly the same with a large event such as the Olympics, the World Cup or Cisco Live. The biggest change is the size of the staff and the organization required to coordinate everyone. A small event might see a single engineer running the whole show while extremely large events can see a team of dozens, or even hundreds, of staff. The requirements on the network might also change with specific teams dealing with networks for officials, organizers, media and guests while the traffic mix might include additional real-time voice and video, multimedia and other critical requirements that your typical tradeshow wouldn't have. The general procedure is the same although the organizational structure might be much more complex.
