In relation to Stadia & Arena 2013, ESSMA’s Managing Director, Dimitri Huygen, commented:

Compared to the previous editions in France (Marseille & Bordeaux), the organisation has made huge progress in bringing the event to Istanbul, involving high quality speakers and attracting a relevant high-level audience.
These thoughts were echoed by all that attended, including FC Porto Operations Director and ESSMA member, Alexandre Costa, who advised:
”
Stadia & Arena 2013, held at a state of art and multi-purpose venue, the
the Marriott Hotel Asia, the offi cial show hotel, which offered a more relaxed and informal setting for attendees to network and do business.
For the Stadia Design, Build & Operations track, Day 3 began with a session entitled ‘New approaches to sports venue management & operations’ with panellists Alan Belsoeur, Chairman of the Stadia Strategic Committee for the French Football League, Phivos Constantinides, General Manager at GSP Sports Stadium & Sports Centre, Brian Kabatznick, VP Business Development at AEG, Mich Sauers, Senior VP of Business Development at Global Spectrum, and Tracey Short, New Business Development Director at SMG.

Ülker Sports Arena, located in one of the most exciting and vibrant cities of the world such as Istanbul, was the perfect event to meet and exchange contacts, thoughts and experiences with a great number of top industry experts from facility managers to stadium designers and suppliers.

I have to remark the excellent panel of speakers like Disney, AEG and ESSMA representatives, among others, and the conference themes like new Brazilian and Turkish projects, management concepts and venue revenues.
