A game changer for major event managers! Having the real time understanding of crowd sentiment will really help identify pain points and enable quick and effective responses on the ground. This video provides an excellent explanation of how phone data can be used positively in the event space without giving up the identity of the visitor. The use of AI here brings a next level to crowd management, safety and the customer experience. Watching this pilot program with interest.

Do major sporting events bring only temporary benefits to their local areas? How can we avoid "economic leakages" to help ensure that event legacies benefit the communities in which events take place? This interesting article illustrates how local government planning powers can be used creatively to support - or hinder - events based urban development. #eventsindustry #urbanplanning #london #urbanregeneration #sportmanagement https://lnkd.in/ebuv3euB

At face value, this video might look like a passionate football manager reflecting on a game, questioning decisions made by match officials (referees, VAR etc). But, look a bit deeper - it is about the divide that exists between the East and West. It's that feeling of being an outsider because of where you live. People have a preconceived idea of who you are based on where you are from. And then there is the feeling of disenfranchisement, the reality is we don't have the same access to things as other areas do. Growing up in South West Sydney, I understand this feeling well. Whenever I'd go to a public speaking competition held at private schools in Sydney's east. When I went to Sydney University. Even at some of my previous jobs. The A-Leagues have an opportunity to shine a spotlight on all the beauty the west has to offer. As Marko Rudan articulated, our community is culturally diverse, passionate, ambitious - we add so much value to the country as a whole. Football can unite the community and can be the platform to exhibit the best of our community too. 👉 This means the way we talk about our communities in the media, how we call out language that is harmful, the standards we hold everyone too (no double standards) and make sure we have different perspectives at decision making tables. Macarthur FC and Western Sydney Wanderers are a beacon of hope for football loving kids in the west but also too an example of the kind of quality you can expect to find in our growing suburbs. (P.S. GO THE BULLS!!) https://lnkd.in/g3Rdss-h

Recent discussions regarding the optimal Olympic and Paralympic venues leading up to Brisbane 2032 have primarily revolved around the issue of cost. It is crucial, however, to strike a balance between cost and the long-term value and impact that such investments can bring to a city. Investing in a city's infrastructure can yield significant benefits and leave a lasting legacy for generations to come. In a recent blog post, Paul Allan, the Arcadis Cities Director for Queensland, provides valuable insights into the complexities of venue selection for Brisbane 2032. As we navigate these challenges, let’s not lose sight of the main game - leaving a lasting legacy for future generations.

Architecture and Technology at its best. The new Mecca of football…….

When it comes to constructing large-scale projects, the idea of sustainability is often at the forefront of our minds. However, a recent article in the Sydney Morning Herald highlights the potential risk of building a "white elephant" - a project that ends up being a financial burden without providing any benefits. The article cites the example of the 2032 Olympic and Para Olympic Games in Queensland, which cost a staggering $2.6 billion but ultimately provided no tangible benefits to the region. As architects and builders, it's important to consider the long-term impact of our projects and ensure they align with the principles of sustainability. Let's learn from past mistakes and prioritize responsible construction that benefits both our communities and the environment. Check out the article here: https://lnkd.in/gJzUJXkh
