What are the essential ingredients and triggers? MLS’ Seattle Sounders are one of the most highly-respected and engaged sports properties in North America but this team’s roots date back less than a decade. The Sounders have led MLS league attendance since their inaugural season, consistently drawing an average attendance of 50-65% more than the next highest-drawing team in the league. Holding and growing this attendance, the team has been working hard on new initiatives heading into 2016 – including Neighbourhoods, Mobile Ticketing, and a new MobileApp to name but a few. Opening #FXF16 we’re delighted to welcome back one of our favourite fan-centric sports leaders: • Bart Wiley, COO, Seattle Sounders FC, USA COMMUNITY ROOTS. GLOBAL PRESENCE 10.00, ROOM: MADRID 1 Fan Engagement As A Force For Change When your cross-town Red rival’s supporter is happy to wear your Blue shirt in recognition of “all the great work your club does in the community”, there’s something very special happening. In just five years, Everton FC has developed its community programme into a powerhouse for change across Merseyside. Today, Everton In The Community employs 140+ staff, services over 2,000 charitable requests per season, manages 250+ volunteers, is contracted by central Government to deliver programmes and has won numerous Awards for its great work. “Evertonians are born, not manufactured. The team feels very much they are the embodiment of the People’s Club”. How is this Community-focus not only helping the city but helping the club create new matchday experiences, reach new supporter groups and build a future fan-base? • Denise Barrett-Baxendale, Chief Executive, Everton in the Community and Deputy Chief Executive, Everton FC, UK • Richard Kenyon, Director of Marketing and Communications, Everton FC, UK 5 THE STADIUM BUSINESS FAN EXPERIENCE FORUMSUMMIT 2016 2014 ACCESSIBILITY FOR ALL 10.30, ROOM: MADRID 1 Building A Broader, More-Inclusive Fan Base Centre for Access to Football in Europe (CAFE) is working with supporters, clubs andgoverning bodies towards one clear aim - a more accessible and inclusive matchday experience for disabled supporters acrossEurope. As an associate partner of UEFA (working with the governing body and its 54 member associations), CAFE has produced 'Access for All' - the UEFA and CAFE Good Practice Guide to Creating and Accessible Stadium and Matchday Experience. Our speaker will update us on the latest project initiatives, legislation and rulings, which are helping to deliver better matchday experiences for disabled supporters everywhere. , clusivele n i e r o M ccessib a e r o m • Michael Rice, Media and Communications Manager, Centre for Access to Football in Europe (CAFE), UK 11.00 Coffee break in The Marketplace with delegates of Premium Seat at Seminar Semin i ar 2016 MOBILE+ENGAGEMENT 11.30, ROOM: MADRID 1 What’s On Your Fan’s Mobile? How best do we engage with fans via their favourite platform – their mobile: e: • Twickenham’s Mobile Hawking App is delivering beer (and mojitos!) into the hands of rugby fans, whilst creating real-time competition between the beer-sellers; • carbonhouse is the leading North American web developer for teams,, venues and events. With 250+ clients across four continents, it has lots of lessons to share from its mobile-first, responsive-design fan engagement solutions (with a focus on helping businesses promote events and sell tickets). • Specialist developer, Canecom will explore today’s Omni-channel experience, where clubs can interact effortlessly across connection points oints ints with fans on multiple platforms or points of contact. The 360-degree fan experience generated by maximising the second screen experience is a short and long-term strategy that fosters a deeper connection while monetising fans going forward. • Rewind allows fans to replay moments they have just seen live in the venue or stadium on their mobile device. But, importantly, the technology ogy does not rely on 4G or the internet meaning it’s super fast and empowers the fan to chose a moment they want to watch on their own screen. The systems creates an entirely new commercial right for every stadia and venue owner, built around delivering rich video or digital content locally to fans mobiles incredibly fast. • George Vaughan, Senior Project Manager, Rugby Football Union, UK • James Sack, VP & Creative Director, carbonhouse, USA • Andras Sipos, COO, Canecom, Hungary • Anthony Ganjou, CEO, CURB Media, UK 6 THE SCHEDULE FANS+INSIGHTS = SPONSORSHIP 12.15, ROOM: MADRID 1 Delivering Value and Insights to Sponsors It’s no longer credible to take sponsor funds and offer only y images and anecdotal evidence in return. Commercial sponsors are looking for verification of their target spend and actionable insights on the audiences they are reaching. After a major data migration across all departments, the Danish FA has a single customer view of its grassroots players and national team fans. Data mining across the product portfolio mix is driving key decisions in ticketing, sales strategies and sponsorship activations. • Jacob Lauesen, Director of Business Development, Danish Football Union (DBU A/S), Denmark SPONSORS & BRAND ACTIVATION 12.45, ROOM: MADRID 1 Enhancing Matchday Engagement: Tools & Techniques Carlsberg has been one of the Euros’ official sponsors since 1988. This year, as a strategic part of its commitment to “do it better for the fans,” the Danish brewing giant has turned to technology partners to deliver a real-time interactive consumer experience across Facebook, Twitter, UEFA.com, the UEFA app and Carlsberg's own football hub. In a first for a global sporting event, fans will be able to interact with the Man of the Match and Goal of the Tournament experiences on the platforms and devices that are most relevant to them. Explaining how one of football’s most high profile sponsors is utilising technology to further brand reach, whilst enhancing the matchday experience, we welcome: • Martin Majlund, Head of Global Marketing Technology, Carlsberg Group, Denmark • Tom McDonnell, CEO, Monterosa, UK 13.15 Lunch in The Marketplace with delegates of Premium Seat Seminar 2016 16 GUEST SPEAKER: INTERNET 14.30, ROOM: MADRID 1 Your.Tickets: The Future of Your Online Presence With the .tickets HLD (High Level Domain) it is now possible for all teams, venues and sports businesses to secure their own .tickets domain. Fans will be better able to source genuine tickets but, more than that, a .tickets domain also offers a range of services to meet the digital needs of those who engage with fans. These services include anti-cyber squatting tools, detailed analytics, enhanced protection from bots and scalpers. Is .tickets s the sensible way forward for your venue’s online fan engagement? • Steve Machin, Founder, AccentMedia (.tickets), UK 7 <RXU7LFNHWWR(QWHUWDLQPHQW Visit us at AXS.com For more information: [email protected] PROGRAMME THE SCHEDULE INNOVATIONS SHOWCASE 14.50, ROOM: MADRID 1 Scorecards at the Ready Please! Fan engagement is increasingly reliant on technological and service innovation to drive visitors, interactivity and revenues. This proven quickfire presentation session – using the pecha-kucha format (with each speaker having just 20 slides for 20 seconds each, i.e. under 7 minutes to present) – delivers some new ideas, s, innovations and inspiration for fan-centric venues. MATCHDAY & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT 15.15, ROOM: MADRID 1 The Rise Of The Cheerleaders: Making The Business Case There are always ardent fans, but how do you expand your fan n base and engage families, women and girls? The London Cheerleaders are changing the perception of cheerleading h throughout Europe, as ambassadors for clubs and brands such as Leicester City FC, Nike, Barbarians, Northampton Cricket, Cambridge FC, Peterborough FC and 3 Mobile. Through dance e n entertainment The London Cheerleaders are able to engage on and off the pitch on game day, but also, importantly, within the general community to create enduring engagement with a brand or club. Throughout the interactive presentation our guest speaker will outline the case for investment in engagement and demonstrate the tangible rewards and benefits of cheerleading to clubs or brand events. with Leading the cheer ... a business case ers, U UK K • Zoe Rutherford, Managing Director, The London Cheerleaders, 15.45 Afternoon Coffee in The Marketplace CASE STUDY: MATCHDAY AT TWICKENHAM 16.15, ROOM: MADRID 1 Leveraging Sponsors & Tech At The RFU As RFU Event Marketing Manager, our speaker’s job is to make sure everything runs like clockwork when 82,000 fans and two rugby teams hit Twickenham Stadium. Long before a match kicks off, he is busy planning and promoting the event. He’s responsible for a multitude of things: from which military band accompanies the anthems through to parking outside broadcast trucks at 1am on the morning of the event. On a matchday he’s there at 6am for a 3pm kick-off, running through final checks of the visuals, the soundtrack – everything to make sure “the whole show is the best it can be”. Seated just in front of England’s management team, Barry is busy managing the show, the overall experience, the PA, the screens, the entire production. Let’s tour inside Twickenham at showtime! • Barry Aherne, Event Marketing Manager, England Rugby / Rugby Football Union, UK 9 STADIUM BUSINESS SUMMIT THE TH F T AN E ST STAD EXPERIENCE ADIU IUM M BU BUSI SINE FORUM NESS SS S 2016 UMMI UM MIT T 20 2014 14 PANEL: MUSIC VS SPORT 16.45, ROOM: MADRID 1 Life’s Two Great Passions But The Same Fans? Both music fans and sports fans are renowned for their passion and engagement with their favourite artists and athletes. However, whilst musical tastes change over time, a sports fan tends to stick (or be stuck!) with their team for life. But, sports fans often have Supporting Acts – those teams that are not their number one, but may be overseas or the national team (or in another sport entirely). The sports fan experience business has developed around a more direct relationship between club and fan. Meanwhile, the music industry is embracing direct-to-fan (D2F) strategies where the artist – rather than the record label – is taking greater ownership of their fans. Sharing lessons between music and sport, we welcome: • Mark Brooks, Commercial Manager, Stena Line Belfast Giants, UK K • Ron Velazquez, VP Ticket Operations, Cleveland Cavaliers, USA • Jessie Scoullar, Director, Wicksteed Works, UK 17.30 Round-Up/Networking in The Marketplace 18.00 Close of The Marketplace 19.30 International Icebreaker - Welcome Reception THE MONSTER JAM ICEBREAKER PARTY THE TERRACE, NH EUROBUILDING HOTEL Images courtesy: FELD Entertainment We finish the day with our regular icebreaker – the networking reception which ch brings together the delegates of Fan Experience Forum 2016 and Premium Seat Seminar 2016 with those arriving for TheStadiumBusiness Summit 2016. 16.

INNOVATION HUB 11.15, MAIN ROOM Where Does Innovation Belong in The Stadium Business? Sports teams and stadium operating companies are typically SMEsized operations, yet on matchday these small businesses have to deliver services to city-scale audiences. Consequently, there is a need for enterprise-scale solutions to meet the demands of these huge audiences – both in-stadium and the even larger audiences of sports fans online. How do stadium businesses adopt and utilise the new technologies and also adapt to the speed of change? Many of the leading international stadia have now embraced the concept of an in-house Innovation Centre, often partnered with key commercial (often technology) sponsors. How are these new sports and stadium innovation centres being structured? And are they delivering results? y • Richard Knight, Stadium Director, England Rugby / Rugby Football Union (Twickenham Stadium), UK • Paul Sergeant MBE, Stadium Business Consultant, Australia ralia a • Tracy V.

But don’t they both fulfill similar functions, rely on mass volumes of foot traffic and suffer greatly without regular event days? In fact, the North American NFL season falls outside of much uch of the traditional convention calendar so if you are planning one of these buildings, why not incorporate the other at the same time? Working on proposals for the new, $1.8bn stadium for the Chargers ers in San Diego, our speaker has researched the needs of both the NFL L business and those of the city convention destination to develop a proposal which meets the needs of both sectors. Dubbed the Convadium, the new Chargers stadium will be a very special facility but with design features that will resonate globally as new citycentre stadium solutions are developed. • David Manica, Principal, MANICA Architecture, USA A 13.00 Lunch in The Marketplace Netwo global stark with the d at #SBS1 ium sector 6 in Mad rid BUSINESS OPERATIONS: INSIDE THE CAVALIERS 14.30, MAIN ROOM Driving Long-Lasting Value And Engagement With Fans The return of LeBron James, the long-term signing of Kyrie Irving, the addition of Kevin Love and other keyplayers have the Cavaliers finding success on the court and in the hunt for Cleveland’s first NBA Championship.Some of the real outcomes lie in the Cavs' operational achievements and their desire to drive long-lasting valuewith their fans.Our speaker will showcase how the Cavaliers organisation was able to leverage years of insights and executive initiatives to get tickets into the hands of fans, whilst driving membership benefits – even for those without tickets. • Ron Velazquez,VP Ticket Operations, ClevelandCavaliers, USA A 31 THE SCHEDULE REVENUE MANAGEMENT: LESSONS FROM OTHERS 15.00, MAIN ROOM Is the Price Right? Yield Management and Pricing Strategies Setting ticket prices for the entire season ahead, the sports sector has traditionally relied on bulk season ticket sales for the majority of its annual ticketing revenues. But fans are increasingly fickle about which games they attend – and which they don’t. Selling out season tickets no longer guarantees a filled stadium. There are key lessons to be learnt from other sectors – not least airline, hotel and theme park businesses. The hotel sector for example employs a simple Revenue Per Available Bed Night calculation, noting that where utilisation increases, yields often drop. So, we’ve pulled together top speakers from each of these to share their insights into how they plan, manage and optimise their ticket prices and other key sources of revenues to maximise yields. Moving forward, should the stadium sector be adopting a RevPass (Revenue Per Available Seat) calculation? • Ana Morillo Arroyo, Global Pricing Director, NH Hotel Group, Spain • José Sanchez, Corporate Director of Revenue Management, Parques Reunidos, idos Sp Spain pai ain 15.45 Afternoon Coffee in The Marketplace MARKETING: DIGITAL TOOLKITS FOR TICKET SALES 16.15, MAIN ROOM How Google (Can Help) Fill Your Stadium s Technology giant Google will be taking to the stage in Madrid at this year’s TheStadiumBusiness Summit to discuss how to maximise your matchday h can can he ca h hel elp lp attendance.

But, by default, that means 90% of the population doesn’t. Such statistics are not unusual for any League or Team. So, how do we address the vast majority of people who are not actively engaged with our sport? How do you put the fan experience at the heart of modern culture? The Premier League – arguably the most successful sports league in the world (and already one of the most inclusive) – is underway with a major rebranding project to identify and connect with the future fans of football. With the aim of creating inclusive stadium e and remote audiences, the rebrand will give the League a distinct voice to cut through all the distractions and other offers being put to tomorrow’s fans. The session will offer key lessons for all teams, leagues s and venues that want to expand their customer base, extend their fan experience and build sustainable (and full) stadium businesses. • Craig Edmondson, Head of Marketing, The Premier League Images courtesy: HKS/Televisa GUEST SPEAKER: AZTECA STADIUM - 50 YEARS ON 10.15, MAIN ROOM Modernising a Sporting Icon, Historic Monument Azteca Stadium – one of the most famous stadiums in the world and the national stadium of Mexico – celebrates 50 years in 2016. Home to both the national football team and local team Club America, the stadium is a much-loved, national monument. The venue of some of the biggest, headline concerts in Mexico, the stadium will also host Club America’s 100th anniversary in 2016 (October 12th, which is the anniversary of Colombus setting foot in the New World and “Discovering America”). A few weeks later the NFL will come to Mexico City. But, with respect to its age, the 1966 structure, which was once ahead of its time, is underperforming with its customer facilities. However, a modernisation programme is underway – part of a US$220m, five year investment programme in both the stadium and its surroundings by its owner, the Televisa media group. The seating bowl will be reconfigured in parts, reducing the capacity by 13,000 seats but this will provide space for more hospitality areas, including loge boxes, executive suites and new palcos. The Estadio Azteca and Televisa management teams are working on a US$15m overhaul of the inner bowl, including the addition of roof coverage of key hospitality areas.
