Our expertise

ARENA Events+Venues brings together two disciplines that are essential to the stadium industry: developing venues with event knowledge and delivering events with venue knowledge.

Its multidisciplinary team of architects, engineers, stadium operators and event professionals helps organisations translate operational requirements into better venue design and turn complex event plans into practical solutions.

For the ESSMA community, ARENA provides expertise across stadium feasibility and development, operational planning, venue readiness, safety and security, ticketing, accreditation, hospitality, overlay and major-event delivery. This integrated approach helps venues become easier to operate, commercially stronger and better prepared for both everyday use and major international events.
