Inside back

WELCOME

Well, what a summer that was!

In the UK, festivals were back in force; the Women’s Euros lifted spirits and the profile of womens’ sport, and the Commonwealth Games made Birmingham everyone’s favourite city! How fortunate we are to work in such a wonderful sector.

MEI has bounced back from COVID well too and gone from strength to strength: opening an office (with 2 staff) in Lausanne, home of the IOC, to redouble efforts to build relationships with International rights holders. In addition we have recruited a dedicated executive to focus on working with host cities around the world- helping them find sporting events that fit their bidding ambitions, and supporting their event master planning by introducing them to the best partners. This work all creates an unparalleled platform to support our network of 70 best-in-class suppliers.

This last 12 months have seen an increasing number of non UK based companies joining the network, new geographic collaboration groups growing also, and this helps our members grow their international reach. We all know that a “local presence” matters for delivering contracts; in 2023 we will be looking at how to strengthen the intelligence from more markets, with additional focus on the US.

Please take the time to look at all company capabilities in this Guide and try to identify partnerships. If you are a rights holder, don’t be afraid to ask for advice. We recommend a consultative approach to all our members. No one will sell you something you do not need or something that will not enhance your event.

I hope you find your time together at this Summit- or with us in Lausanne in June- fruitful and, as always, we welcome your feedback and ideas.

Onwards and upwards!

Tiers of Membership

Access to Key Decision Makers

Tiers of Support

Retained Bespoke & Premium: Delivered via:

Retained Bespoke Membership:

Suitable for companies seeking a bespoke sales & marketing capability specialising in international major sports events or specific country focus

At this level of membership we are basically an extension of your Sales and Marketing team in the area of major sporting events. We will attend meetings with you, support, and even write your tender documents. Your Key Account Director is CEO, Dennis Mills and this membership level guarantees significant time with himallowing you to benefit from his personal knowledge, insights and connections.

Tier 1 Service Providers: These companies offer commercial engagement which offers attractive benefits for event host agencies as well as an “in your team” approach to provide expert advice as a core part of their offer. These service-focused companies are the key enablers for event delivery: Travel, Logistics, Foreign Exchange, Insurance and other specialist services. In addition to their individual commercial offer, the Tier 1 supplier will generate economies of scale which can support planning as a unified team and identify synergies all of which reduces risk and cost for event hosts. In a challenging and unpredictable international hosting environment, where all financial benefits are welcome, the Tier 1 providers are available to offer you a free audit of your activities and provide advice on the best way to operate.

• Meetings set up for you with decision makers

Active participation at Summits.

• First priority to take a leadership/ facilitation role where this is appropriate to achieve the Summit objectives. Free access to summits and Missions

Professional: Accessed/Delivered via:

3 Summits: International Multi-Sport focus; UK focus (sport, festivals and other outdoor events) and International Federation focus

Tier 2 Specialist Consulting Support: The Consulting component of the Service Desk consists of companies who are providing consulting services as core business, plus those “suppliers” who are willing to engage in knowledge transfer and support to event planning through informal round table workshop style engagement. Both parties win, due to strengthened relationships; new commercial opportunities for support and the potential for enduring support arrangements.

Premium Membership:

The key benefit to being a MEI Premium member is that we pro actively seek out, and arrange meetings for you. It provides far greater transparency via monthly meetings with a 3-person key account management team who agree objectives with you and work on your behalf to achieve them.

Premium members receive free access to our Summits, including sponsorship; secure featured content in our digests, ads in our handbooks and event guides, as well as receiving invites to our ‘Exclusive’ Premium only events.

Professional Membership:

Designed as the first level of MEI support, ensuring both parties are “invested” in the relationship meaning actions are completed and there is a real sense of momentum.

Tier 3 Expert Suppliers: MEI only works with the best international suppliers who are inducted into the network with initial workshop and reviews. Working within collaborative supply chains or directly with event hosts, these companies cover all sectors and range from corporate to niche SMEs. They understand the time, cost and reputational risks from hosting events and seek to deliver as part of the team and not as arms-length external suppliers. They can help inform best practice from purchasing and procurement having responded to many tenders. They too can be approached to seek their input within the MEI Service Desk approach.

HOW MEI SUPPORT RIGHTS HOLDERS

Support Services – International Federations, NGBs, Sports Organisations & Event Organisers

There are a standard range of support tasks which rights holders generally ask us to fulfil, but more bespoke projects outside this scope can be delivered:

Host Cities

We help build a pipeline of interested candidate host cities or regions. We can issue a proven initial engagement document which provides: background information plus a summary of obligations which require a short response but with a formal commitment with requirements, subject to final negotiation, can be met. A detailed summary of the rights holder deliverables and the city or regions’ detailed requirements. We act as an ‘interface’ at an ‘arms-length’ to save rights holders time.

Enhanced Market Profile

We can help rights holders be seen, heard, and to engage with new audiences via bespoke events, speaking opportunities, yearly summits, and market visits.

Commercial Partner Introductions

Sponsorship introductions are assessed on suitability for geographic presence or alignment to rights holder activities and or objectives. Additionally, saving costs, raising revenue and reducing staff workload can be achieved by managed partnerships with event delivery expert companies.

For more information, email: enquiries@majoreventsint.com

MEI works to help support rights holders in multiple ways, largely based on the facilitation of managed introductions and sharing best practice.

HOW WE HELP HOST CITIES

A selection of host cities that have atteneded past summits:

Through our growing relationship with International sports Federations we are increasingly being asked to find host cities for iconic events and these range from regional championships, World Championships or their Annual Congress National Governing Bodies gathering. We have a dedicated team that cultivates relations with potential host cities and their convention centres to help with a bridge to the Federations providing a managed interface service.

MEI can provide insights to new op portunities, match City aspirations to the needs of Federations and help support the development of your strategy optimising the time and costs from undertaking this work. With MEI staff in Lausanne providing a local

presence, time zone challenges, pre-meeting preparations and post meeting follow up action provides continuity coming from long-established relationships. Economic impact and how this fits into ambitions to host more events are areas where real focus can be delivered.

In addition to matching the right city to the best matched rights holders/sports properties, we help host cities, LOCs, NGBs and other event organisers by introducing them to reliable providers of event services which could potentially include Value in Kind support covering visitor experience, infrastructure, overlay, safety and security, event technology and other best-in-class suppliers to help mitigate risk, minimise costs and maximise revenues.

We are authors of the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds 6th edition (Green Guide) and SG03: Event Safety Management. They are internationally recognised as best-practice guides for the development and refurbishment of stadia and the safe management of events to ensure spectator safety, including management responsibilities, conducting risk assessments and developing an Operations Manual.

Safety management at sports grounds has become more sophisticated and more professional and we set the standard for which sports grounds should aspire to in managing sports venues.

More About Iventis

Iventis was established in 2015 by CEO & Founder, Joe Cusdin, following 10 years of working in major events. Joe worked as part of the GIS and Mapping team at the London 2012 Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) and London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG). He went on to lead a Functional Area (FA) responsible for modelling and GIS at the Baku 2015 European Games.

From this experience, Joe recognised how spatial and geographic information is central to almost every aspect of event planning. Despite this, there were no tools or systems designed to meet the requirements and challenges of major event planning and operations.

Existing GIS software required extensive customisation and technical knowledge to use. Even then, it would often prove too complex and expensive to work on such a large scale. As a result, Joe founded Iventis – a comprehensive GIS and mapping platform designed specifically for the needs of major events and built based on his extensive industry experience.

Since its inception, it has been used by some of the world’s largest events including Dubai Expo 2020, Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup, the COP26 UN Climate Change Conference and the European Championships, Munich 2022.

Iventis is a Venture Capital backed, UK based company with offices in the cities of Lincoln and London.

Inspirational events

There are plenty of positives to take away from the past event season, which was perhaps the most significant for our industry in recent history. Looking back at the past year or so, we would like to share some recent projects with you, that you may find inspirational, or useful, as you start planning for 2023. We would also like to highlight and celebrate some positive developments, trends, and creative thinking, that we feel will help shape the events of tomorrow.

More detailed information, as well as our key takeaways, can be found on our website, where we had a little more room to dive deeper into these projects and show you a lot more pictures, including some images from the construction process. If you want to read the full article, please scan this QR code.

COP26, Glasgow, United Kingdom

There are challenges, and then there’s the COP26project, the 26th UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow. For this high-profile event, where world leaders debated how to tackle the effects of climate change, we delivered 37.500 m2 of temporary buildings within a short timeframe, under constantly changing circumstances and with no margin for error. Needless to say, we loved it.

What did we deliver?

We provided a wide range of bespoke buildings. We delivered both single and double deck structures to house the media centre, UNFCCC offices, the main entrance and security facilities, as

well as large acoustically optimised meeting rooms. By adding these buildings, we were able to increase the capacity of the Scottish Event Campus (SEC) significantly, allowing it to host this massive event.

Racing event, Zandvoort, The Netherlands

The largest motorsports competition in the world has made a return to the tiny Dutch town of Zandvoort. For the second race in decades, arguably the biggest event in the Netherlands this year, we pulled out all the stops, delivering topclass hospitality buildings and branding the existing pit-lane buildings.

What did we deliver?

Three bespoke, completely different, high-end double-deck hospitality buildings for the

50

organization and major brands, as well as an extension to the circuit’s pit-lane building.

So what’s new?

For one of the hospitality pavilions, we utilized a never-before used combination of tent systems, which were heavily modified to meet the clients wishes. This required a lot of creative thinking, plenty of complex calculations and the creation of lot of new and adapted parts and components.

Van Gogh Alive, London, Manchester, and Edinburgh, United Kingdom

Van Gogh Alive is described as an exhibition like no other, a far cry from art expo’s in their traditional form, and a truly immersive, multisensory experience. Having built the venue for the London and Manchester exhibitions, we can only say that we wholeheartedly agree.

What did we deliver?

In order to facilitate this multi-sensory experience, which made clever use of video, projection, music and even scent, we delivered a sound and light proof venue that that allowed all these elements to work their magic. Some parts of the building needed to be completely blacked-out, while other parts could be flooded with light. Acoustics needed

Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom

Losberger De Boer has been building hospitality facilities on the holy grounds of Wimbledon since 1994. This year, once again we built the Rosewater and the Lawn Pavilions, the two largest hospitality buildings at the tournament.

What did we deliver?

The Rosewater and Lawn pavilions offer a combined total of 3500 m2 of premium hospitality space. Due to the extremely tight schedule, both facilities needed to be delivered in one month. As soon as our assembly teams were done, an army of skilled fit-out specialists appeared, to transform the inside into a five-star VIP facility. One of the new features that was introduced this year, was a new, stylish, cantilever terrace, that offered guests a great view over practice courts and the designated ‘chillout area’.

ATPI SPORTS EVENTS WILL ENABLE YOU WITH TRAVEL & LOGISTICS

We will enhance your performance by creating a service configuration tailored to your specific travel logistic needs (based on venues, movements, policy, etc.)

EVENT HOSPITALITY MANAGEMENT

Together with your team we will design a detailed plan, based upon your organisations needs. We will create a multi-disciplinary team and work together as one-team on the translation of the strategic goals to tactical and (very!) hands-on plans per segment.

SPONSOR ACTIVATION:

The sponsorship activation process can be broken down into three general steps:

BRAINSTORMING & NEGOTIATING

During the brainstorming phase, rightsholders specifically need to understand their audience, and the objectives of the sponsor to create e ective and memorable experiences for their partners.

In fact, we would even recommend including the sponsor, specialists and previous sponsorship e ects in this process. As a result, we will deliver unique solutions, where all interests are considered.

Since this is the initial part of the process where assets are being considered, it’s fair to say that brainstorming goes hand-in-hand with assigning assets.

BUILD CREATIVE SPONSORSHIP ACTIVATION

Our goal is to build campaigns that everyone will be a big fan of and solves a problem for your target audience, that requires all parties working as a team. We make sure all ideas will be assessed on feasibility, relevancy, excitement and is it engaging enough.

LEVERAGE SPONSORSHIP OUTCOME

Lastly, the final step is to make sure that program spend is optimized. Equally important, is making sure that all elements and benefits of a partnership are leveraged in accordance with the outcomes all involved are hoping to achieve. We will translate these results into a new set of measures, making sure we do better next time.

Case Study

In the last quarter of 2019, our client, CSM Sport & Entertainment (CSM) began planning for the Major League Baseball London Series 2020.

For an event scheduled to host 120,000 spectators over two days, the risks were significant. Ensuring that appropriate and comprehensive cancellation insurance in place was important.

After a review of alternative insurance programme structures, Miller successfully placed cover for CSM eight months before the event was scheduled.

With this being a major event, CSM was closely tracking the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak from late January, and as the months passed, the wider global impact became apparent. A few months on, there was no option but to cancel the event.

Advice and support from Miller was key during this challenging time.

Client quote, David Lanfranchi, Risk Manager at CSM: “I would particularly like to call out the team at Miller for their work in placing the breadth of cover required and their claims team in managing the collection of payments.”

THE SECRET TO DIGITALLY TRANSFORMING

SPORT SPORT

TECHNOLOGY IS CHANGING THE SPORTS INDUSTRY. But how does change create value?

Every day, new technologies appear that create fan experiences, enhance athlete performance and improve content. There are exciting products everywhere. However, products alone will not help the sports industry to grow.

To retain its value in the digital world, sport needs more than clever products. It needs to understand and adapt to new fan behaviours. It needs data analysis. It needs experts in monetisation, marketing and the metaverse, all at the same time.

LaLiga recognised this need in 2014 and designed a unique digital ecosystem that would power its global growth. That same ecosystem is now available to the wider industry, through LaLiga Tech

98 SPORT

Ecosystem

The LaLiga Tech ecosystem offers the blueprint for successful digital transformation, covering new product development with expert guidance on how to generate new data-driven insights and create long-term business value.

Having anticipated the technology disruption of sport and building the solutions to address them, LaLiga Tech is looking to share this value with other sports properties and help the entire industry to enter the digital future together.
