Our Core Purpose is to reduce the time, cost & risk for major event organisers.

We facilitate the transfer of knowledge and lessons learned from multiple international games to benefit future host organisations.

We deliver an annual cycle of engagement activities involving past games leaders, multi-sector suppliers, country experts, and business & government strategy advisors.

We partner with leading conference and expo organisers delivering Major Events content and market profile for speakers.

GUIDE

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

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

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.

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.
