Drawing from my experience in sports venue management, I've found that understanding each venue's layout and the dynamics of different sports events is key. With my background, I can confidently offer insights into optimizing fan placements and managing ticketing operations effectively. #SportsVenue #LiveEvents #Fulfilment #InventoryManagement

During my time at Iventis I’ve had the exciting opportunity to work with Epic Games' Unreal Engine and Cesium’s Unreal Engine plugin in our Digital Twin product. The Digital Twin aims to combine geospatial data with Unreal Engine’s real-time rendering. For the Digital Twin we utilise a variety of technologies to help bring a higher fidelity to venues for event organisers to visualise their event plans within popular venues. Thanks to Unreal Engine’s Lumen, we can simulate realistic lighting within venue interiors, creating a more realistic atmosphere. We also understand that not everyone will have the hardware required to run this in real time. That’s why we also utilise pixel streaming and embed the Digital Twin straight into the Iventis app. There's more to the world than just our hand-crafted venue models, that’s why we also use the Cesium For Unreal plugin with Google’s 3d tiles to help bring the world into Unreal Engine. This allows for users to explore the world outside of the venues and see where they are situated. With Unreal Engine 5.3, we have also started to experiment with Motion Matching, the next generation of animation technology. With Motion Matching we can have a pool of high-quality motion captured animations that we can utilise, making our third person character feel more grounded and believable in our world. To match our high fidelity models, we incorporate Epic Game’s Meta Humans to produce realistic and believable character models inside of the Digital Twin. I’m extremely excited to see the future of Iventis and the Digital Twin as well as new technologies coming to us through Unreal Engine. #Iventis #DigitalTwin #EpicGames #UnrealEngine #CesiumForUnreal #Lumen #MotionMatching #PixelStreaming #MetaHumans

Disaster and Chaos at the Miami Hard Rock Stadium I am not here to blame one side or the other, but rather to bring attention to the importance of crowd engineering for event planning. This is one type of engineering I would not usually think about, but when situations like what happened at the Miami Hard Rock Stadium occur, its importance becomes apparent. - 60,000 fans were expected to attend the match. - Some fans gained entry to the stadium without tickets. - To counteract this, stadium gates were closed. - The game was delayed by more than 75 minutes. - Thousands of ticket holders were pushed against the gates, awaiting entry. - Stadium gates had to be reopened, welcoming even those without tickets. - Once maximum occupancy was reached, the gates were closed again. - Thousands of ticket holders were left outside of the stadium. While it is understandable that the chaos was not solely due to poor planning but also due to some wrongful behavior by the fans, some questions arise: - What steps should have been taken to prevent this? - What should have been the best response? - Is the country's infrastructure ready for more events of this caliber? How can we prepare better for future events? What happened at the Copa America final between Colombia and Argentina is only a foreshadowing of what we can expect at the 2026 World Cup if the appropriate measures are not taken. #CopaAmerica #Miami #Florida #Soccer #HardRockStadium #EventEngineering #CrowdEngineering #Engineering #Sports #Colombia #Argentina

More-than-satisfied future client: Does SPORTMRKT only manage private suites at sports venues? Trevor: Hi MTSFC, of course that's not all we do! We manage corporate outings around MAJOR sporting events. As your sports partner, we customize the most VIP experience to fit your budget... all while handling A-Z details leading up, and at the event. This includes ticket distribution, which we all know is time consuming and frustrating. You and your team wouldn't have to lift a finger!!

Making Sports Arenas Destination Venues! If the recent Euros are anything to go by, or similarly, the crowds at the current Olympics, then it is clear that sports bring people together. It is no wonder then that venues around the world are seeking to turn spectating at a sports event, into just one of the many things people can do when at a game. Rumours surround the current ongoing discussions regarding the proposed redevelopment of Old Trafford. Aside from discussions around whether to rebuild anew or to create something new, there has been speculation that the Old Trafford Regeneration Task Force (as they are dubbed) who are charged with what to do, have considered making a district around the ground which could include a hotel, an entertainment centre and more. The clear focus would be to bring more people to the area, captivate them and keep them there longer. It is not a new idea, but it is one that is growing momentum. What it speaks to is, that irrespective of whether you can create a district, what venues need to consider is how to make the patron/fan/customer experience a richer, more inclusive one that appeals on many fronts. It is an exciting time, and something we are keen to see develop across more venues in the world – including here at home. #Stadium #swiftpos #OOLIOUK #Olympics2024 #Euros #CustomerExperience
