e! Bienve

Thanks for joining us in Madrid – one of the global capitals of sport. We’re
delighted to be hosting our seventh annual TheStadiumBusiness Summit in
this great city. Each year a different core theme emerges and 2017 is no
exception.
You’ll find the full event programme, with over 50 expert industry speakers
across the main Summit, Premium Seat Seminar and Fan Experience Forum.
If there is one emerging theme that links all of the content, it is the move
towards dynamic data flows and responsive management. We’ve talked
about ‘smart stadia’ for a long time but now we are on the cusp of not only
smart facilities but ever-smarter operators (fully-briefed and data-driven)!
Of course, the highlight of the programme is TheStadiumBusiness Awards
evening where we recognise our industry’s key achievers and leaders. This
year we’re at the famous Estadio Santiago Bernabéu for what promises to
be a very special evening.
Our thanks go to all our speakers for sharing their knowledge so freely and
our sponsors for backing us and keeping our industry moving forward.
Finally – above all – our thanks to YOU for taking the time to join us. We wish
you a great ‘visitor experience’ at TheStadiumBusiness Summit 2016 - and if
there’s anything we can do to assist, please let us know.

KEYNOTE

Linking It All: Culture, Staff & Brand
What’s behind the genesis of a particular team’s ‘fan experience’? 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

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?

Community and Deputy Chief Executive, Everton FC, UK

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.

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.

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:

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

the sensible way forward for your venue’s online fan engagement?

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,

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.

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!

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:

REWIND
Rewind is a technology start-up allowing fans inside stadia or venues to
stream any instant replay live on demand via their mobile device without

technology does not need an app, works with any mobile or tablet device

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?

Stadium + Convention Centre = Convadium
Stadiums and convention centres are two distinct building types,,
right? 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.

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?

BUSINESS INSIGHTS: DRONES IN YOUR VENUE
16.40, MAIN ROOM
Flying High: Commercial Benefits of Drone Operations
Everyone’s talking about them and half the world appears to be
flying them! According to the hype, drones are here to solve all our
planetary issues – whilst creating a few of their own. It may be a
while before we see widespread adoption for parcel delivery
services or commuter transport but within the confines of a stadium
m
facility, drones are proving to be useful operational tools. From
exterior traffic and crowd surveillance, through to fancams and
sponsorship activation, drone-sourced video feeds are increasingly
y
commonplace on matchdays. On non-matchdays the same drones
s
are providing maintenance inspections and bird-scaring duties. We
e
bring together a panel of users and new converts to share their
drone stories – along with insights into one of the latest stadium
events: drone racing!

Driven By Purpose: Finding A Voice When Business Clouds Perceptions
ons
Some 10% of the British population attend Premier League matches
every year. 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.

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. How is this iconic stadium being reconfigured to
o
serve the next 50 years?
