ESSMA - European Stadium and Safety Management Association

The European Stadium and Safety Management Association offers a platform to stadium professionals where they can share, learn and discuss topics related to ESSMA's areas of expertise: Development & Construction, Operations & Ticketing, Sustainability & SMART, Safety & Security, Fan Experience & Hospitality and Pitch Management. ESSMA is built around 3 pillars: Workshops and Events, Business Intelligence and Strategic Support. Throughout the year we offer our members numerous workshops and events focused on one of our expert areas such as pitch management or fan entertainment. Our annual ESSMA Summit is the must-attend stadium industry event of the year. Furthermore, ESSMA carefully collects a wide range of data from its vast stadium network. We provide members with up-to-date, easy to understand data, analysing actual stadium development projects. Through conducting valuable case studies, providing a quarterly Stadium Development Report and delivering up-to-date industry news, the ESSMA community acquires up-to-date and relevant data. Additionally, ESSMA aims to offer the right strategic support for every member. Including services such as a media package, Ask ESSMA's, communication support and a 'Join the X Manager' programme.
