WELCOME I hope you find this directory of the MEI supplier network useful.

It explains which expert companies have elected to join, and been accepted, into the MEI professional community; what type of support can be offered to your organisation, and how that is organised. It is therefore your reference document, updated annually. You are welcome to contact us at any time to ask for an updated version, or to enquire about joining the network.

The drive to deliver events at lower cost, higher impact for fans and greater profit for stakeholders, whilst managing risk, has never been more pressing than in the new normal of having to live with COVID-19. Our aim is to make a contribution to this dynamic by facilitating a managed interface between event organisers, in whatever guise, and the experts who routinely support national and international events and therefore have vast experience they are willing to share. This knowledge sharing and collaborative approach is at the heart of what MEI offers to support you to achieve your objectives.

The approach continues to evolve as we seek to improve clarity of communication. If you are a rights holder, please consider taking advantage of the offer of a free “round table” discussion and/or workshop with sector experts. Challenge us with questions you want answered, or simply let us know if there is any organisation in particular you wish to connect with: now, or in the future.

EVENT DELIVERY MODEL (EDM) Membership of the MEI Community is organised into tiers to allow event organisers better understand what support they are able to access via this model. In simple terms, it is a single point of contact approach. Any requests for support can be communicated to MEI who will then arrange for the most appropraite response.

MAJOR EVENTS INTERNATIONAL

An under leveraged area of Supplier and Event Host operations is the use of Framework Contracts. MEI can use the EDM approach to help inform multi-year or multi-event frameworks which provide insights into economies of scale which also assist with event planning resilience and enhances trusted relationships. This delivers significant advantages for all parties. Should this be of interest, we can facilitate a process of dialogue to better inform what this entails.

In-Country Support Suppliers can request that MEI provide a local office to support their operations. The scale of representation can range from a single MEI representative, to the permanent presence of representatives or hot desk ad-hoc market visits. We welcome enquiries about support.

The EDM offers tiered support to Bid and Host Cities by providing a single point of contact access to experts to help them achieve their objectives. These objectives range from seeking to attract more events, bid support to event mobilisation wider city activation.

Never has there been a better time to access those who can support events with insights about lower cost and risk, resilience and revenue generation. Due to the focus on the visitor experience, the appropriate mix of new and temporary enabling facilities, and the enduring need for safety and security of crowded places, advice will be shared about mitigating some of the challenges of event delivery in an unpredictable global pandemic.

MAJOR MAJOR E VENTS E VENTS GUIDE GUIDE

Mobilisation: Once an event has been agreed for hosting, MEI can act in a liaison role with the Rights Holder as well as provide early consultancy via the EDM approach, some of which will be at no charge to facilitate early engagement.

Event Delivery: In much the same way as mobilisation, the same access to expertise can be facilitated. Final test event support can be provided as part of the final lap support.

Changing requirements can be briefed to MEI for “best endeavour” resolution.

Request for Support: Requests for informal dialogue, round table type discussions or workshops are available either generally or on specific subjects or sectors. Framework longer-term arrangements are within scope of discussion facilitated by MEI, and the Tier 1 EDM provider will also be able to discuss various support options about embedded or dedicated point of contact support with the potential for some form of Value in Kind or sponsorship options.

Event Attraction Support MEI is able to leverage well established trusted relationships to accelerate the process of engagement with Rights Holders and support the assessment of which events are likely to be best suited to the Host City.

Event Attraction: Workshops initiate a process of verification of target events ranked in order of importance and growth in status/size - looking out to a 10 year horizon.

MEI can provide the initial contact with the target Rights Holder pre-submission of any formal declaration of interest. MEI can then facilitate the process of clarification of what is required to host, sustain dialogue to the “proceed/don’t proceed” point.

Bid Support: Enhancing the capabilities of existing bids, conducting independent external reviews, market profile to raise awareness of hosting capabilities and intentions can enhance the probability of success.

City Level Legacy The often used and misunderstood term of “Legacy” is a major MEI offer to ensure there are tangible Business and social impact benefits from event hosting beyond the often stated Tourism and short-term event spike in the local economy. These have to form a vital part in any BId and or Business Case.

Significant experience in bets practice is available to BId and Host Cities. MEI

capabilities include capacity building for local businesses to service their events and grow the potential for country wide , or international future operations via workshops and mentoring. City activation to include Cultural events aligned to, and extending, the benefits of the core event requires multi-agency coordination which MEI can support. Trade events can also be a part of the demonstration of capabilities of cities. MEI can advise on programmes, format and facilitation.

International Market Profile & Representation Leveraging the extensive partnerships with conference and expo organisers, MEI summits and attendance at significant events, MEI is able to act as Ambassadors for Host Cities and to establish interest in follow up conversations without the Cities always being present, thereby saving time and cost. With assets such as the Annual handbook and Digests , use of social media, MEI can support the marketing plan of Host Cities.

Framework Agreements: • 3 Year or Multi-Event Agreements: Opportunities for savings and greater commercial engagement • Operational Delivery Benefits: Reduces overheads, can cascade benefits at all levels • Access to Best Practice: Great visibility of more effective support

“It is essential that we take the necessary procedures to reduce COVID-19 transmissions and our partnership with Cignpost Diagnostics – as official screening services supplier for the Great Britain Sail Grand Prix – is an essential part of this. Their expertise, operations on site and ability to turn around fast and accurate results was essential to the successful running of the event” Jennie Kim, SailGP

Sport Events

During the pandemic, we had to become used to empty stadiums and fake crowd noise being dubbed over TV coverage for our favourite sporting moments. Despite this, sports people were still able to compete thanks to the testing services we have provided elite sport over the last year.

Back in June last year, Cignpost’s first event was the PGA European Tour and since then we have provided testing services for the Scottish Premier League, Wimbledon and host of Formula 1 teams.

Even now that the crowds have returned, we continue to facilitate those big sporting moments.

MAJOR Evolv Express Weapons Detection Screening | Solution Brief E VENTS

GUIDE

Touchless Security Screening

Evolv Express® The days of asking fans and employees to place their phones and bags in containers handled by your security guards are over.

Physical security screening procedures that rely on metal detectors, hand wands, and invasive bag checks are too slow and manual, resulting in unsafe crowding and physical contact that can be dangerous in our post-pandemic world. Security leaders at venues and facilities realize it’s time for a fundamentally new approach to screening.

Introducing Evolv Express® Evolv Express is the world’s first and only touchless security screening solution that leverages patented sensor technology and artificial intelligence to distinguish weapons from harmless personal items, all while guests simply walk through at a natural pace. Visitors, fans, patrons, employees, and students no longer need to wait in long lines or stop and hand over their bags and personal items. And, with available cloud-based analytics and seamless integrations to other venue solutions, Evolv Express equips your operations teams with new insights and improved security solutions to elevate the visitor experience.

Leverage AI to instantly differentiate personal items from concealed threats.

Unlike traditional metal detectors, Express is powered by a combination of high-speed sensors and proprietary AI software to identify threats in real-time without requiring visitors to stop, empty pockets, and remove bags. It can tell the difference between everyday items (cell phone, keys, and coins) and a weapon, creating a frictionless experience for visitors and employees while keeping facilities safe from long entrance queues and unwanted threats such as mass shootings and terrorist attacks. It also reduces the potential health risks associated with unnecessary human contact.

Elevate Physical Security with Today’s Technology When a potential threat is detected, real-time image-aided alarms show guards precisely where the potential threat is located on a person or in his or her bag. This means most guests can simply walk right through, and guards need only focus on a limited number of visitors to swiftly

Only Evolv Express® Fast, Efficient Threat Screening: Screens 3,600 people per hour, 10 times faster than metal detectors, for a line-free security experience.

Respectful and Touchless Experience: No stopping. No emptying pockets or removing bags.

Easy to Operate: See in real-time where the potential threat is on a person’s body or in their bag, focusing your team’s effort only on potential threats.

Flexible Deployment Options: For both indoor and outdoor screening. Easy to set up and move.

and efficiently resolve potential threats. Requests for additional guard assistance are easily and discreetly sent to designated security team members, supervisors, or adjacent teams via text message and email.

And, leveraging cloud-based connectivity, security and operations teams can gain new insights into visitor arrival metrics and alarm rates to

Evolv Express Weapons Detection Screening | Solution Brief

“

We knew our former security screening process would provide challenges in the pandemic environment,” said Jason White, managing director of corporate safety and security at Hershey Entertainment and Resorts.

“We’d already been evaluating how we could improve on our guest screening process and had piloted Evolv Express last fall because the system could accommodate thousands of people an hour in a frictionless, no-stop flow. As we began formulating the security screening aspect of our pandemic reopening strategy, it was clear that Evolv Express was the best solution that could meet our requirements. Our guests and security staff have been pleasantly surprised at the speed of the touchless screening experience that largely eliminates manual bag checks. The responsive customer support and working relationship we have with the Evolv team is just as phenomenal as their product.

Bringing Touchless Security Screening to Companies Worldwide for a Safe and Welcoming Experience Customers across a variety of industries are now implementing touchless security screening with Evolv Express to emerge from pandemic shutdowns with confidence and optimism. Outdoor entertainment venues were early adopters as they rolled out new pandemic-aware safety and security processes designed to both attract and protect their crucial seasonal guests.

About Evolv Technology Founded in 2013, Evolv Technology is the leader in human security solving the security screening problems of today with the most innovative technology and thinking. Evolv makes it possible for venues of all kinds to keep visitors and employees safe from concealed weapons, pandemic health threats and intruders. The company’s Evolv Express has earned industry accolades that include the 2021 Artificial Intelligence Product Excellence Award, 2020 Edison Awards™, 2020 Campus Safety BEST Award and two Secure Campus 2020 Awards.

Losberger De Boer gets the job done - no matter what Planning, organizing and hosting a major event is no small feat. No matter how good your script is (and how many years of experience and expertise have gone into drafting it), or how good your team is, at any point, you are likely to be confronted with unforeseen circumstances, setbacks or events beyond your control. When that happens, it is important that you have partners that you can depend on, that you can trust to get the job done no matter what.

Premium event structures supplier Losberger De Boer demonstrated just that, when continuously changing Covid-restrictions made life very difficult for all the professionals working hard to host the Barcelona ATP Tennis Tournament. Or when high-end hospitality buildings of unprecedented size had to be built within a very short timeframe at the 24 hours races at Le Mans.

Barcelona Open Banco 2021 ATP Tennis Tournament It’s safe to say that the road leading up to the 2021 edition of the Barcelona Open ATP Tournament, was a bumpy one. Event planning, ticket sales and construction were severely impacted by continuously changing Covid-19 restrictions, and the constant

uncertainty about in what form the event could be held (if at all).

The challenge: Total capacity was reduced to less than 30% Regulations and restrictions changed continously

As one of the main partners for event organizer Tennium, Losberger De Boer was committed to making sure that the event could be held no matter what.

The solution: A 2000m² VIP building with a flexible layout Internal layout and partitions could be changed at any time All-in-one building with VIP and players restaurant & hospitality terrace

‘ Throughout the project, they have given us excellent advice and guidance’

62

MAJOR EVENTS INTERNATIONAL

MAJOR E VENTS GUIDE

‘Every part had to be in the right place, at the right time’

Maria Rosa Cruells, General Director of the Real Club de Tennis Barcelona, was responsible for the event’s infrastructure on site. “During this pandemic year Losberger De Boer have continuously adapted to all the changes we requested, so that the tournament could be held with the maximum amount of security and preventive measures, as the authorities demanded”, she says. “Throughout the project, they have given us excellent advice and guidance, and in the end, they were even able to deliver an exclusive VIP club within the current restrictive regulations. They have been excellent.”

24h Le Mans, 2019 British car brand Aston Martin utilized a threestory hospitality accommodation by Losberger De Boer and iEvent to make their presence known at the famous 24H Le Mans. With so many big brands in one location, it's not easy to stand out. Aston Martin succeeded.

The challenge: Deliver an eye-catching hospitality building in a crowded area, in a short amount of time In order to give Aston Martin the exposure that matches the brand's stature, an eye-catching, three-story hospitality accommodation was built, the company’s first ever triple-decker at Le Mans. The building was tailor-made, fully

branded and included a cinema space and additional terraces at both the entrance and race trackside.

The real challenge for Losberger De Boer was making sure everything could be built within a very short time, especially since the company had to build numerous large buildings at the 2019 Le Mans terrain.

"Our build sites were spread out over an immense area, where a lot of work had to be done by an enormous amount of suppliers and sub-contractors”, says Francis Scholten, Managing Director Rental Division at Losberger De Boer. “Moreover, everything had to be done within a few days." Within eight days, approximately 9 trucks full of material were handled and assembled in order to cause as little disruption as possible to the surrounding build sites.

The 2019 24h Le Mans was not the first collaboration between iEvents and Losberger De Boer, and for good reason. “iEvent creates unique moments during major events”, says Lewis Ledouit, Communication Manager at iEvent. “To do this, we need to work with trusted partners, that are able to bring our creative ideas to life. That's why we work with Losberger De Boer, to be able to rely on their know-how.”

Our claims experience ranges from a World Cup event in Japan and a six week franchise tournament on the sub-continent, through to a multi-territory, multi-sport event in Europe.

Case Study In the last quarter of 2019, our client, CSM Sport & Entertainment (CSM) began planning for the Major League Baseball London Series 2020.

For an event scheduled to host 120,000 spectators over two days, the risks were significant. Ensuring that appropriate and comprehensive cancellation insurance in place was important.

After a review of alternative insurance programme structures, Miller successfully placed cover for CSM eight months before the event was scheduled.

miller-insurance.com/sande 66

MAJOR EVENTS INTERNATIONAL

With this being a major event, CSM was closely tracking the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak from late January, and as the months passed, the wider global impact became apparent. A few months on, there was no option but to cancel the event.

Advice and support from Miller was key during this challenging time.

Client quote, David Lanfranchi, Risk Manager at CSM: “I would particularly like to call out the team at Miller for their work in placing the breadth of cover required and their claims team in managing the collection of payments.”

The financial impact of event cancellation Event types • Theatre productions and film previews

• Music concerts, tours and festivals

• Sports events and matches

• Other corporate or personal events

• Trade shows and exhibitions

• Mass participation events

• Non-appearance of individual/team

• National or state mourning

• Third party strike action • Denial of access

• Adverse weather

• Natural perils i.e. earthquake, windstorm

• Accident or illness

• Public transport failure

• Failure of utilities

• Terrorism or threat of terrorism

As premium members of MEI, we are keen to help advise and guide event organisers to understand and deal with their financial risks.

Audit and Evaluation

You have a comprehensive file of safety and compliance documentation, but how do you know that the aims, intentions and methodology work operationally?

Training Courses We provide a menu of training for event, security and policing solutions. Whether you need training for volunteers, crowd safety stewards, their supervisors or safety and security management, we have the appropriate course to suit your needs.

How have you tested success? Do you know how your staff will react in an emergency situation? Have your trained and practiced for severe occurrences?

Our team can support you by firstly evaluating the scope and purpose of your operational safety and security planning, then test and audit your preparedness.

Safety Management With over 30 years experience in policing large crowded events, we can provide qualified crowd safety officers to oversee the safe and secure operations at your venue.

From established sporting and entertainment venues to green field sites, the safe operating of the site is essential for the safety of your visitors. From strategic planning to the day of your event all aspects of safety and security can be provided for you by our team of safety professionals.
