The police have a responsibility for public safety in support of event organisers and for spending the public purse wisely. It is, therefore, helpful to understand the latest technology and innovation that can help event organisers and, where appropriate help the police to do that.

WHY BOTHER TALKING TO SUPPLIERS? 10 MAJOR EVENTS INTERNATIONAL

MAJOR E VENTS GUIDE

My impressions so far have been really positive. We’ve met a lot of people in the past couple of days and exchanged a lot of ideas, things that have gone right, gone wrong, and hopefully gained a lot of connections to do things in the future.”

“I would definitely recommend both rights holders and suppliers attending in the future.

I think it has been a good opportunity to connect and meet with all these different event organisers from around the world

You never know what you will see, what you will hear, what little snippets or throwaway line someone will say at the last minute of the last session and you’ll think; there is an idea. You’ll write that down and six months later it will turn into something”. “Yes, I will be back again

I’ve made some firm connections here.

I’ve just made two in the last twenty minutes who are going to try and help me out in my event in two weeks’ time, so yes it has been very beneficial FRED HARGREAVES Deputy Director, UK Invictus Games

I am happy to credit Major Events International with opening a number of doors for us which, after a long journey of competitive tendering and working directly with the client, led to contracts with, for example, The FA at Wembley Stadium and Lima 2019. MEI’s role is to help facilitate conversations and to grease the wheels of business opportunities within the major events space ANDREW HODSON Head of Sport Partnerships

fantastic introductions resulting in contract wins NICOLA ESSON Marketing Manager

It’s something we find a lot of value in. It’s a fantastic opportunity to have the decision makers in one room and frankly shortens the sales cycle. It is invaluable STEVE GRUNING VP Global Sales and Marketing

WeTrack finds our membership to MEI to be great value for money. We use it to increase our brand profile amongst key decision makers, to share our thoughts and to facilitate connections and build relationships faster than we otherwise would have.

Over a period of time this combination has undoubtedly helped us win clients

The three main reasons we are members of the MEI are: the procurement e-mails; the discounts attending the summits; the networking and opportunities between members.

MAJOR E VENTS GUIDE

SERVICE DESK 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. This is shown diagrammatically across the page. In simple terms, it is a single point of contact approach.

Any requests for support can be communicated to MEI who can then arrange for the most appropriate response.

Framework Agreements

Tiers of Support Tier 1 Service Providers: These companies offer commercial engagement which offers attractive benefits for event host agencies as well as an “in your team” approach to provide expert advice as a core part of their offer. These service-focused companies are the key enablers for event delivery: Travel, Logistics, Foreign Exchange, Insurance and other specialist services. In addition to their individual commercial offer, the Tier 1 supplier will generate economies of scale which can support planning as a unified team and identify synergies all of which reduces risk and cost for event hosts. In a challenging and unpredictable international hosting environment, where all financial benefits are welcome, the Tier 1 providers are available to offer you a free audit of your activities and provide advice on the best way to operate.

Tier 2 Specialist Consulting Support: The Consulting component of the Service Desk consists of companies who are providing consulting services as core business, plus those “suppliers” who are willing to engage in knowledge transfer and support to event planning through informal round table workshop style engagement.

Both parties win, due to strengthened relationships; new commercial opportunities for support and the potential for enduring support arrangements.

Tier 3 Expert Suppliers: MEI only works with the best international suppliers who are inducted into the network with initial workshop and reviews. Working within collaborative supply chains or directly with event hosts, these companies cover all sectors and range from corporate to niche SMEs. They understand the time, cost and reputational risks from hosting events and seek to deliver as part of the team and not as arms-length external suppliers. They can help inform best practice from purchasing and procurement having responded to many tenders. They too can be approached to seek their input within the MEI Service Desk approach.

26 MAJOR EVENTS INTERNATIONAL

An under-leveraged area of Supplier and Event Host operations is the use of Framework Contracts. MEI can use the Service Desk 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 enhanced 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 Host Cities can request that MEI provide a local office to support their operations.

The scale of representation can range from a single liaison MEI representative, to permanent presence of representatives or hot desk ad-hoc market visits. We welcome enquiries about support to Host Cities.

The Service Desk 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, resilient revenue generation. Due to the focus on the visitor experience, the appropriate mix of new and temporary enabling facilities, and sadly the enduring need for safety and security of crowded places. These same experts will share their advice about mitigating some of the challenges of event delivery in an unpredictable global pandemic situation.

MAJOR E VENTS 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 Service Desk 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 longerterm arrangements are within scope of discussion facilitated

by MEI, and the Tier 1 Service Desk 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 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.

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 the capabilities of cities. MEI can advise on programmes, format and facilitation.

International Market Profile and Representation

City Level Legacy

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.

MEI: What’s the single biggest reason to use AFEX? MW: A hard question to answer! There are lots of reasons, but I would say our flexibility is a big one. We work with our clients to create a solution that fits their business and that we can change as their business needs change. You don’t need to keep a balance in your AFEX account the way you do with a bank, so you’re not tying up cashflow. The facility is there when you need it. Also, clients can call or email their Client Manager, or use our online platform, AFEXDirect, if they prefer.

MEI: What do you think will be the long-term impact of the coronavirus on the sporting industry?

MW: It’s completely unprecedented. I think it’s become clear to many people how interconnected we are— we’re all in this together. Think about the globalised economy—we can’t separate ourselves from the rest of the world in 2020 the way we might have done in 1820.

Sport in general is intensely local and at the same time completely international. Everyone can appreciate athletic excellence whether you’re a fan or not. It’s a cliché but sport brings people together, whether they’re cheering for your team or for their fiercest rival. You could be on the other side of the world and find someone who knows as much about Manchester United or the All Blacks or your favourite team as you do, and you have common ground before you even know their surname.

I do think this crisis will change us in some ways, but will eventually get back to some form of normal. People are social animals and innately optimistic and resilient (or maybe that’s just me). Technology makes it easier for us to work and connect remotely, but there’s nothing like a sporting arena in the moments before the match starts—everyone is excited and cheerful, and they know anything at all could happen. That’s what I’m looking forward to.

About Mike Wainwright As a former professional rugby player and coach, I know the business of sport—the competitiveness and the teamwork involved. I’ve been at AFEX nearly four years now and I want our clients to view us as an extension of their teams. My goal is to help the sporting industry manage their international payments strategically for the best outcomes.

About AFEX AFEX is a trusted global payments and risk management specialist with a heritage dating back to 1979. With offices across Europe, the Americas and APAC, we are a trusted partner to more than 35,000 clients around the world.

The AFEX Approach We’ll work with you to develop a new strategic approach that takes into account the current conditions and the changes for the future.

Hedging. We’ll help you realign your hedging and risk management policies to the new environment. Our flexible hedging tools protect exchange rates on incoming and outgoing funds for up to two years.

Cash flow. We offer more favourable deposit terms on hedging products than many other providers, which can help free up more cashflow for uncertain times.

Transaction Costs. As an FX specialist, AFEX rates are typically tighter than most banks can offer, saving you money on currency exchange and transaction fees.

Multi-currency holding accounts. Our holding accounts allow you to receive a foreign currency and hold it for a future payment without needing to convert it to your home currency first.

Complementary currency audit. We’ll evaluate your current pricing and processes to uncover areas where we can save you money and increase efficiencies.

Trusted Advisor and Partner. We will offer you market guidance and risk mitigation strategies for the near term and into the future. The timeline and scope of the hedge will depend on your business goals and risk appetite. As your partner, your needs are our priority.

Every situation is different, of course, and solutions are customised to your risk profile and business goals. The uncertainty during these unprecedented times has implications for the health and well-being of staff, athletes and families, and for your business as well.

AndArchitects is an award-winning architecture practice with over 20 years’ experience designing sports, hospitality and commercial projects, domestically and internationally. We have delivered stadia, temporary venues, events architecture, and sports complexes.

AndArchitects won the Architectural Review MIPIM Future Project Award 2017 for the Sports and Leisure sector and were also shortlisted in the RIBA London Awards 2017. AndArchitects won the International Olympic Committee IAKS SILVER MEDAL 2017

Events Architecture AndArchitects have delivered temporary venues for several global events including the London 2012 Olympic Games and 2016 Rio Olympic Games. At Rio 2016 AndArchitects worked in collaboration with a local partner to design and deliver the Handball Arena.

AndArchitects continue to design and research temporary venues with a focus on delivering sustainability and legacy. The Handball Arena was designed to be disassembled after the Games and reassembled locally as four schools.

Sponsorship Pavilions At the London 2012 Olympics, AndArchitects helped implement several Sponsorship Pavilions for BMW, Coca Cola, EDF, and the design of the BP Sponsorship Pavilion. This involved delivering complicated and bespoke designs in tight and inflexible construction windows, in close colaboration with contractors and suppliers.

Our flexibility, strong communication and agility were key in the successful delivery of these projects.

Stadia Design Since the Charlton FC West Stand in 1998 AndArchitects have consistently designed stadia for sports clubs, culminating in our recent success with Luton FC’s new Power Court Stadium. This new stadium, and the commercial and residential development surrounding it, was one of the largest approved planning applications in the UK in 2019. AndArchitects understand not only the technical and logistical complications of designing a 21st century stadium, but the broader developments and urban planning needed to deliver them.

Sports Masterplanning AndArchitects have worked with clubs, Local Authorities and other partners to create intelligent masterplans for sports complexes. We work closely with clients to create facilities that work hard and can be used by several stakeholders, creating a source of revenue for clubs and keeping their facilities in regular use.

Multi-use and multi-occupation facilities are an established model for success and AndArchitects have the knowledge and skills to design these masterplans.

“AndArchitects not only produced consistently high quality design solutions but I also found them to be thoroughly responsive and professional and were always able to deliver tight timescales.”

Richard Arnold, Olympic Delivery Authority ‘’AndArchitects have always been professional and responsive through the process and we have no hesitation in recommending them for similar Sports and Masterplanning projects. “ Martin McElhatton.

MASS

COMPANY PROFILE

MASS is one of five companies within the Cohort plc Group which mainly operates in the defence and security sectors. We employ ~300 people spread across several sites including our newly opened EW and Cyber training academy in Lincoln.

We have a variety of capabilities that are of interest to the organisers of large-scale events. Our Digital Services team provide training, testing and compliance services – essential for keeping your data safe.

We can rapidly deploy secure networks which are the backbone for the control and coordination of events. We can provide readiness and testing exercises as we have to the UK MOD for their Higher Headquarters for the past 20 years. Our Exercise Support Team have generated 70+ major exercises in that time involving ~200-2000 people. They continue to evolve their exercise solutions via regular lessons learnt processes. In 2011, we provided support to the Home Office for the validation of the London 2012 Olympics. At this point, the Olympic Safety and Security Testing and Exercising Team were tasked to take on the portfolio for rehearsing the entire 2012 Olympics organisation adding the London Organising Committee, Transport for London, and the Mayor/London Boroughs to their existing Safety and Security remit. The MASS Team brought a common vocabulary and structure to the design of the command post exercises (3), scenarios that challenged collective operation, and a portal that ultimately aided 260 organisations and 5000 people to work together in their Olympics roles and locations.
