Connected sport: building resilient, sustainable and fan-centric venues webinar

Stadiums are becoming the proving ground for the UK's next generation of connectivity. As fan expectations rise and venues take on a bigger role in regeneration and community life, the pressure is on operators, venue owners, vendors and local authorities to deliver networks that are fast and resilient. 

This webinar brings together voices from across the connectivity ecosystem to explore what it really takes to deliver world-class, future-proof connectivity in one of the most demanding environments there is: a live sports venue. 

This session, including a case study from a professional sport club, will unpack the practical realities of deploying 5G and neutral host infrastructure at scale, the role of intelligent orchestration in keeping networks efficient and adaptive, and how the outcomes of "getting it right" ripple out far beyond the turnstiles. 

 What this session will cover 

• A stadium operator shares the story behind the club's home and its approach to connectivity from the ground up 

• 5G evolution and large-scale connectivity requirements in high-density, high-demand venues 

• Delivering connectivity in dense environments. The practical realities of neutral host deployment in complex, high-footfall venues 

• Intelligent orchestration and network optimisation. Building energy-efficient, resilient and adaptive infrastructure through open, programmable networks 

• How stadium-led connectivity and regeneration projects support wider community and public-sector goals 

• What closer working between operators, venue owners, vendors and councils looks like in practice 

Who should attend 

This session is designed for anyone working across telecoms, digital infrastructure, sports and venue management, or local government, including: 

• Mobile network operators and neutral host providers 

• Venue owners, operators and stadium developers 

• Local authorities and regeneration teams 

• Technology vendors working in connectivity, orchestration and network infrastructure
