#TDS25 Preview: Belonging by Design – Everton FC’s Stadium on the Waterfront

Joining us at the 14th annual Design & Development Summit 2025, Jon-Scott Kohli, Architect Director at BDP Pattern, will share how design and vision came together to create a stadium rooted in place and purpose.

Joined by Everton FC’s Director of New Stadium Development, Alix Waldron this special session will reveal how vision, architecture and design came together to create Hill Dickinson Stadium – an authentic ‘football first’ ground that could only be on the River Mersey. We’ll explore how heritage and context informed the design, delivering a stadium that belongs as much to its supporters as to its skyline.

>> Learn how thoughtful design strengthens fan connection and shapes the future of venues – and meet 450+ stadium, arena and venue professionals – only at #TDS25.
