The 7th edition of our ESSMA Summit took place in the Allianz Stadium in Turin. With 3 dedicated seminars on stadium development and operations taking place inside the Allianz Stadium, a fourth track was set up specifically for pitch managers with a live demonstration on Juventus’ pitch and a visit to the official Juventus training center, J-village. Furthermore, the track also included presentations by 2 experts in their field:
-
Mr. Félicien Laborde, Deputy CEO at AS Monaco
-
Mr. Scott Brooks, Head Groundsmanager at OGC Nice
Both clubs are located in the South of France, but that isn’t the only thing that they have in common: they both aspire to be at the top of the Ligue 1, they have both developed state-of-the-art training facilities to attract and develop the best young talents to get there and they have both invested to get the top-experts in the field of pitch management to make sure that the pitches on which these young talents will play are the best they can possibly be. During our ESSMA Summit, both gentlemen shared with our audience of pitch managers how they try to do exactly that.
