techsports2012 - 03/04/2012 - Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh, Scotland
A one-day informative conference focussing on the sympathetic inclusion of synthetic turf within the sporting market along with practical suggestions on how to achieve best return on investment and maximum use of the facility. With representation from FIFA, IRB, AEG, IOG and BIGGA, amongst others, we'll be running two simultaneous talk streams discussing the build, furnish and maintenance of the facility, and also how best to then promote and further develop the finished product.
Stadia Design and Technology Expo 2012 is North America's must-attend Annual Convention for anyone involved in the operation, refurbishment or new-build of a sporting venue.
From Stadiums to Arenas, Stadia Design and Technology Expo, which takes place in Los Angeles, California, from May 8 to 10 2012, will showcase next-generation revenue-generation technologies; innovative capacity-boosting concepts; environmentally conscious building materials, techniques and services; operational efficiency-enhancing technologies, systems and services; as well as introduce owners and operators of Stadiums and Arenas to unique, world-class design and architectural technologies, companies and service providers.
The Convention, organized by the publishers of the industry-leading Stadia magazine which was launched over 11 years ago, is designed to enable project teams who are planning a new-build or major refurbishment of a sports venue to exchange ideas and information with experts from around the world.
And once you've planned your visit to the large exhibition halls, be sure to book your seat at the Conference.
Do not embark on your next refurb or new-build project until you’ve attended Stadia Design and Technology Expo 2012!
