MAJOR EVENTS INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT SERVICES

Inside back

WELCOME Major Events International work to help event organisers mitigate risk, minimise costs and maximise revenues/fan engagement. We facilitate safer, more profitable events with a longer lasting legacy.

This directory of the MEI supplier network explains which expert companies have elected to join, and been accepted, into the MEI professional community and what type of support they can offer.

It is therefore your reference document, updated annually. An updated list of our members is available on the corporate site at www.majoreventsint.com The drive to deliver events with greater efficiency, higher impact for fans and greater profit for stakeholders, whilst managing risk, has never been more pressing as we face increasing costs and workforce pressures. 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. This knowledge sharing and collaborative approach is at the heart of what MEI offers to support you to achieve your objectives.

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

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.

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.

Andy Rice Chief Operating Officer Major Events International

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

HOW MEI SUPPORT RIGHTS HOLDERS MEI works to help support rights holders in multiple ways, largely based on the facilitation of managed introductions and sharing best practice.

Support Services – International Federations, NGBs, Sports Organisations & Event Organisers There are a standard range of support tasks which rights holders generally ask us to fulfil, but more bespoke projects outside this scope can be delivered: Host Cities We help build a pipeline of interested candidate host cities or regions. We can issue a proven initial engagement document which provides: background information plus a summary of obligations which require a short response but with a formal commitment with requirements, subject to final negotiation, can be met. A detailed summary of the rights holder deliverables and the city or regions’ detailed requirements. We act as an ‘interface’ at an ‘arms-length’ to save rights holders time.

Commercial Partner Introductions Sponsorship introductions are assessed on suitability for geographic presence or alignment to rights holder activities and or objectives.

Additionally, saving costs, raising revenue and reducing staff workload can be achieved by managed partnerships with event delivery expert companies.

Enhanced Market Profile We can help rights holders be seen, heard, and to engage with new audiences via bespoke events, speaking opportunities, yearly summits, and market visits.

Testimonials

HOW WE HELP HOST CITIES A selection of host cities that have atteneded past summits:

Through our growing relationship with International sports Federations we are increasingly being asked to find host cities for iconic events and these range from regional championships, World Championships or their Annual Congress National Governing Bodies gathering. We have a dedicated team that cultivates relations with potential host cities and their convention centres to help with a bridge to the Federations providing a managed interface service.

MEI can provide insights to new opportunities, match City aspirations to the needs of Federations and help support the development of your strategy optimising the time and costs from undertaking this work. With MEI staff in Lausanne providing a local

presence, time zone challenges, pre-meeting preparations and post meeting follow up action provides continuity coming from long-established relationships.

Economic impact and how this fits into ambitions to host more events are areas where real focus can be delivered.

In addition to matching the right city to the best matched rights holders/sports properties, we help host cities, LOCs, NGBs and other event organisers by introducing them to reliable providers of event services which could potentially include Value in Kind support covering visitor experience, infrastructure, overlay, safety and security, event technology and other best-in-class suppliers to help mitigate risk, minimise costs and maximise revenues.

Strategy and Planning

Audit and Evaluation

Being strategic doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s about taking some time to step back, do your research, get everyone on the same page so you can make smarter decisions together.

We have nine steps to help position you as a leader in strategic events.

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

This includes identifying your unique needs and priorities and document them for reference. What are your biggest concerns? What areas of the program warrant your input and support? Moving forward, you’ll know who to seek input from and keep informed throughout the event planning process.

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.

TyTek Medical products were developed for the battlefield, but we regularly see and hear how civilians have suffered military style injuries following a deliberate attack or accident.

As a result, we have prioritized the treatment of point-of-injury bleeding in public arenas. Medical research shows that there is a ‘platinum ten’ minute period to stop a catastrophic bleed. If you can beat the count you can and will save lives.

Our PTENSYS (Platinum TEN SYStem) range offers pound-for-pound value to meet your emergency preparedness challenges head on. Box clever and visit our website for more details.

INFRASTRUCTURE, OVERLAY & EQUIPMENT The Sports Grounds Safety Authority (SGSA) is the UK Government’s safety regulator for sports grounds. We have been improving sports grounds safety across the world for over 30 years.

We are authors of the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds 6th edition (Green Guide) and SG03: Event Safety Management.

They are internationally recognised as best-practice guides for the development and refurbishment of stadia and the safe management of events to ensure spectator safety, including management responsibilities, conducting risk assessments and developing an Operations Manual.

Safety management at sports grounds has become more sophisticated and more professional and we set the standard for which sports grounds should aspire to in managing sports venues.

Event organisers, venue owners and operators use our guides to help prepare venues for major sporting events across six continents, at every World Cup and Olympic event since 2002.

Besides our guidance, we provide consultancy, advisory and bespoke training services across the world. We act as a trusted strategic safety partner for host cities and international federations, helping them to determine their strategic safety needs to ensure safe major sporting events. Improving sports grounds safety at a strategic level requires the support of multiple stakeholders - from legislators and policymakers, through to venue owners, local police, stewards and of course, spectators and our expertise as a UK safety regulator gives us a unique insight into how to navigate these challenges.

Miller Insurance Services LLP We are an independent insurance broker with a leading position in advising clients in the sport and entertainment sector. Our highly experienced and specialist team support our clients through a deep understanding of their business, by leveraging our strong insurer relationships to ensure relevant financial protection is sourced.

We deliver three central propositions: Risk based advice

Insurance placement

Claims management

Our specialist areas include:

Sourcing and implementing broad and competitive insurance across all relevant risk areas

Dedicated in-house team with strong sector, network and expertise

• Contractor/Supplier legal obligations • Operational risk mapping with digital capability • Cyber security/Continuity

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

Our typical clients include:

Despite meticulous planning for an event, some factors are out of your control, which can affect whether an event can go ahead as planned…

Governing bodies/Rights holders Domestic or international

Host cities Major events

Organising committees

Managing a complex supply chain

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.

• 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

• Damage to venue

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 80

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.”

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

Events are about people and content While we’re going back and forth on the hybrid v virtual v live debate – and wondering whether we have the skills and resources to deliver different types of events – are we losing sight of what we’re here to do as an industry?

This is why we believe events are no longer hybrid or in-person. They just are. Events have remote and live attendees – it’s simply a mode of content consumption and a method to expand audience reach.

Humans have been coming together to celebrate and collaborate for thousands of years. One could argue that the speed of technological and scientific progress we’ve seen has been somewhat or entirely driven by our ability to come together. To share ideas. To seek better.

Tomorrow’s event planner should be thinking to themselves; “how do I craft an event that will produce an outcome that’s going to benefit the community, or the world?” Then plan an event format which enables and empowers that mission.

How much should a virtual ticket cost? Will you need an in-person or virtual MC? What really matters here?

Our opinion? It’s about people. And it’s about content. The rest will fall into place.

Good events transcend format” Moving beyond the Hybrid v Virtual v Live debate
