Why You Should Attend This Event
What You’ll Learn
Which European venue types and revenue lines (premium hospitality, F&B, sponsorship, naming rights, non-event days, adjacent real estate) are most financeable right now and the underwriting metrics investors and lenders prioritise
How the “modern capital stack” is being structured across senior debt, private credit, mezz, preferred equity, public participation and infrastructure-style capital
How ownership and governance models (club/artist/promoter, institutional/REIT, municipal) change risk, incentives, control and refinancing outcomes
How to deliver next-generation venues that drive a 365-day business and serves as a catalyst for further economic and community growth
Strategies for refurbishment versus new builds and securing planning approvals in dense urban areas
How the right design and tech infrastructure can be revenue drivers and not just cost
How You’ll Do More Business: Meet the capital providers, owners, developers, advisors and delivery partners shaping Europe’s next wave of stadiums, arenas and mixed-use entertainment districts. Get practical takeaways on how deals are being financed, how revenue is being underwritten, and how projects are winning approvals despite cost inflation, community impacts and complex planning constraints. You’ll leave with sharper parameters for structuring investable projects, de-risking delivery and building partnerships that accelerate transactions across European sports and live entertainment real estate.
