I am delighted to be speaking at the 2nd World Stadiums and Arenas Summit on 14–15 October 2026 in Riyadh, joining hashtag#industryhashtag#leaders, hashtag#developers, hashtag#investors, hashtag#operators, and hashtag#policymakers to discuss the hashtag#FutureofStadiums and hashtag#ArenaDevelopmentandInnovation, and hashtag#SportsInfrastructure.
Over the past 25+ years, I have had the privilege of advising on some of the region's most significant sports, leisure, entertainment, and PPP projects, including stadium developments, sports cities, and large-scale destination projects across the GCC. My work has focused on ensuring that major sports infrastructure is not only technically successful but also commercially sustainable through:
• AssetMonetisation and RevenueEnhancementStrategies
• LegacyPlanning and LongtermDestinationActivation
• HighestandBestUseStudies (HBU)
• CommercialandFinancialFeasibilityStudies
• PublicPrivatePartnershipStructuring (PPP)
• InvestmentStrategy and FinancialModelling
• OperatorSearchandSelection, and CommercialNegotiations
Having advised on projects across SaudiArabia, Qatar, the UAE, and the wider region, I look forward to sharing practical insights on how stadiums and arenas can evolve into vibrant mixed-use destinations that generate sustainable economic, social, and financial value long after the final whistle.
If you're attending the Summit, I'd be delighted to connect, exchange ideas, and discuss the future of sports infrastructure, stadium monetisation, legacy planning, and investment opportunities.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in Riyadh.
