  • “It was fantastic to be a part of the inaugural SVB LIVE Global Networking event in Perth on March 12. Brilliant location, great speakers, and excellent networking opportunities. It was good to hear some of the challenges being encountered across the industry as well as some very innovative solutions that various leaders were adopting. Thanks for organising Cass and Katie!”

    Chris Andrich, General Manager Venue Operations, VenuesWest

  • “The SVB LIVE Global Networking event was a unique opportunity for us to connect with a great group of prominent sports rights holders, federations, and venues. The content structure meant the focus was truly on networking, and the smaller group size created great opportunities to make some really strong connections.”

    Ben Phillips, Head of Sales & Marketing, TEAMcard

  • “Interesting discussions in an open forum where varying points of view – owner, operator, designer, events manager – were heard and contributed to a broader understanding of the various perspectives that make up the Business of Sports Venues. Great afternoon and networking with those in the know.”

    Matthew Batchelor, Director, Cox Architecture
