Venues beware: Prepare for the fluid fan
After years of controlling the relationship with fans, the sports industry is on the cusp of being uprooted by its false sense of security that it knows its fans. The industry has been slow to recognize the impact of technology
on fans and the venue experience.
The fan of the future is fluid: Open to change, empowered to choose, and continuously evolving. We will define the Fluid Fan and provide rec- ommendations for venues looking to prepare themselves for the next age of fandom.
Coffee break & networking
Conference stream: GREEN Venue
Green initiatives are no longer the provinces of hippies and tree-huggers. Going green is a staple of the sports and entertainment venues industry and it can be prof- itable too. This is the segment that evaluates costs; attempts to understand from a community relations perspective; and articulate a green initiatives policy. How in- novative green technology is changing the way we look at our stadiums and sports arenas, and transforming them into a model of sustainable projects. Going green is not just an option in the stadium business, it is the way forward.
LEED Platinum Golden 1 Center: Roadmap to sustainable events
The LEED Platinum Golden 1 Center
has been named the most techno-
logically advanced and sustainable
arena in the world. In an unprec-
edented commitment to the lo-
cal economy, environment and
healthy eating, the arena is 100
percent solar-powered and sources 90 percent of
culinary ingredients from growers and producers operating within a 150-mile radius of Golden 1 Center. This segment explores how innovative green tech- nology is elevating guest experience, changing the way we look at our stadiums and sports arenas and transforming them into a model of sustainable projects. Going green is not just an option, it is the way forward.
