Episode description

Attendance for in-person events was already on the decline well before 2020, and it’s not hard to see why. When you are forced to spend valuable time waiting in long lines just to get into an event, get food, or even go to the bathroom, it’s hard to justify the costs.

On top of that, people don’t want to deal with crowds anymore. And venues are having a hard time trying to figure out how to manage everyone and enforce rules like social distancing. What if there was a way for venue operators to see in real time what was happening on the event floor so they could open more food stands, direct people to shorter bathroom lines, and streamline the flow of people?

In this podcast, we talk to PMY Group about the idea of smart stadiums and what it means for the event experience as well as the event technology and partnerships that go into making this a success.

Join us as we explore these ideas with:
