ECA will once again act as a strategic partner to the ESSMA Summit, which will take place on 22-23 January 2019 at the Estádio do Dragão, home of FC Porto.

This unique stadium industry event, organised by ESSMA, provides club representatives with the opportunity to exchange knowledge and best practice on matters concerning stadium management, security and business.

Following the successful 2018 event in Dublin, the 2019 edition will gather stadium experts, together with club and league representatives, to discuss various topics related to stadium management, including stadium development and operations, fan experience and pitch management. Similar to previous editions, the conference programme foresees a mix of keynote speeches, in-depth seminars, thematic stadium tours and networking opportunities.

Concerning the strategic partnership between ECA and the ESSMA Summit, ECA General Secretary Michele Centenaro stated:

"We are very pleased to partner the ESSMA Summit. With today's rapid evolution of stadium infrastructure and technology, the exchange of know-how and experiences among industry experts is extremely valuable."
