ECA is proud to be an official partner of the fourth ESSMA Summit, which will take place on 16 & 17 January 2018 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, home of the Irish Rugby Football Union (IRFU) and the Football Association of Ireland (FAI). This must-attend 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 marketing.

Following the successful 2017 event at the home of Olympique Lyonnais with more than 350 participants, the 2018 edition will again gather stadium experts, club and league representatives to discuss various aspects of stadium management, including, but not limited to, fan entertainment, safety & security, commercial matters and pitch management. Similar to the previous editions, the conference programme foresees a mix of keynote speeches, in-depth seminars, thematic stadium tours and networking opportunities.
