Story Highlights
As in-venue teams continue to search for answers amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, next week's SVG Venue Summit: Virtual Series on Wednesday, Aug. 26 and Thursday, Aug. 27, will dissect the current challenges that this side of the industry still faces and provide a potential roadmap on how to navigate this era of uncertainty. In addition, personnel from three of the newest stadiums - SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, and Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX - will give you insight into the construction process, technologies inside of their control rooms, and how effective collaboration enabled these projects to be completed.
It's not too late to register for this year's event. Come celebrate the Summer of the Stadium with us!
