Back of the net for the Summit kick off!

The 2016 edition of TheStadiumBusiness Design & Development Summit quite literally kicked off in style this evening with a football-themed welcome reception in the very fitting ‘Heaven’ rooftop bar at Hotel Football.

Sponsored by d&b audiotechnik, the welcome reception marked the official opening of the world’s leading gathering of stadium designers, developers and owners in Manchester, with the conference beginning tomorrow morning at Lancashire County Cricket Club.

Delegates from some of the most exciting major sports venues all over the world were welcomed with drinks and a chance to have a kick about on the roof of Ryan Giggs’ hotel. The reception was well-received (if at times a little too busy!) as delegates had a chance to catch up with old friends and make new ones, setting the bar for a successful 3 days of networking with peers.

It’s not too late to join 350+ industry leaders at the Summit – pick up your pass here.
