THE definitive business meeting of the global stadium sector

With nearly 300 delegates, from 30+ countries, representing more than 50 stadiums, 25+ football clubs and more than 20 future stadium projects, Stadium Business Summit 2011 was a truly international industry meeting.

Supported by a host of industry backers, Stadium Business Summit 2011 explored the critical issues facing the stadium and major sports venue sector with a special focus this year on 'customer service'...

"We’d like to express our gratitude for the perfectly organized Stadium Business Summit in Barcelona," says the delegation from the Russian Association of Sports Facilities. "We gained a lot of useful information which we will certainly use in our preparations for the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi and the 2018 FIFA World Cup".

These views were shared by the industry suppliers who came to Barcelona seeking new contacts and contracts.

"The event was certainly a success from the outset, well planed, well orchestrated and in a superb venue," comments Jason Shave, Venue Innovation B2B Sales Manager at Sony Professional. "We look forward to Turin next year".
