Etihad Stadium Manchester City Football Club was the perfect setting for our latest Stadia and Sporting Venues Peer-to-Peer Group, where we tackled a range of industry topics. A special thank you to Charlotte Lilleyman for leading an insightful discussion on collaborating with agencies and corporates, and how sporting venues can truly shine. Big thanks also to Tony Shotton for hosting us, providing a fantastic lunch, and sharing exciting updates on the new entertainment district in progress. And of course, appreciation to Thomas Harris for expertly chairing the group and keeping us on track. It was an afternoon of engaging conversations, including how different venues successfully navigate and communicate availability around sporting events—always a hot topic!

'Martyn's Law' has taken another step forward after being green lighted by the House of Lords.... This legislation will ensure all venues around the UK that expect 200 or more people to be on site to prepare for the event of a terror attack, such as establishing evacuation plans. Home Office minister Lord Hanson said at the third reading: "This Bill is a tribute to those victims and to the victims of other terrorist attacks. They will never ever be forgotten.” Need more information on Martyn's Law? Meetings Industry Association has produced a practical guide to help the business meetings and events sector navigate - https://lnkd.in/eQr_NShm #WeAreBrighter #MartynsLaw #EventManagement #EventProfs #EventProfsUK Brighter

The team have been on the ground getting a sneak peek of the amazing new Masters Suite at The Belfry Hotel & Resort ahead of the miaList 2025 and conference which will take place here in November. The hard-hat tour gave a chance to get a feel for the space and start to visualise our events here. Beautiful views across the green and lots of natural light for the event spaces and bedrooms. Thanks to the lovely team at The Belfry for looking after us! Shonali Devereaux (she / her) Sandra Sagar (was Eyre) Kursha Woodgate Katie Niland #miaList #MeetingsIndustry #eventprofs
