Wael is a guest speaker at the Coliseum Summit Europe seminar held at the London Stadium on 21/22 March.

Apparently its a a "global series of stadium and arena business conferences"

And "The summit consists of exclusive presentations, case studies, interactive panel discussions, venue tours, a networking & exhibition area and an evening get together.

The conference is dedicated to the various challenges and solutions; and the lessons which can be learnt relating to the sports venue sector around the world"

Interesting.

Who's representing UWE?

The format of the conference offers a 15-minute case study and presentations followed by a Q&A round. The diverse mix of topics in the sessions keeps the delegates attentive and engaged. Panel discussions have been deliberately left out to make more room for intense interaction between speakers and the audience. Delegates have constantly given an overwhelming feedback with a big thumbs-up to the “unbeatable content” at the Coliseum Summits, which brings in experts under a single roof to discuss key issues pertinent to sports venue business without any break-out sessions.

Coliseum Summits are deliberately created for only 200 guests with the push more on quality instead of quantity. The spaces for sponsors and exhibitors are strictly limited. Coliseum is boutique and exclusive in a true sense.

Coliseum does not allow sales pitches. It is all about insightful industry knowledge based on projects and shared information – most crucially the mistakes made, subsequent solutions and lessons learned. The outcome inadvertently is more knowledge and absorption of key information that is critical to making better decisions on future projects.

Attending Coliseum will enable you to network with stadium and arena business leaders and your peers from around the world. Coliseum is a journey that leads to the discovery of valuable ways of creating a more profitable venue. Critically, it offers a great and unique learning platform about how to market your business with more engaging content for your fans and customers.

The underlying mantra, as stressed by founder Michael Rennschmied, is: “If we listen to each other’s challenges we will have a better venue at the end.”

It all sounds a bit grand for someone with a stadium largely consisting of tents and portacabins. Hopefully it's a sign that he's thinking bigger and is a man with a plan, and we can start hearing something soon about solutions rather than challenges.

Announce New South Stand.

This is a smoke screen to distract from ... dunno ... something bad happening either on 20th or 23rd of March.

Weird or what I was on twitter checking things out about an hour ago, I posted a link that Coliseum tweeted to wael that they looking forward to seeing waels plans for Bristol Rovers new stadium, I tweeted back to them then asking about plans then suddenly everything went blank

Looks like they dropped him in it.

I’m like that on Saturday nights after about 8pm.
