In this insightful virtual panel, ALSD members hear from Karri Zaremba, Justin Wood, Russ Simons, and Jenny Dinnen about the ongoing evolution of consumer behaviors and how it impacts the sports and entertainment industry returning from a temporary shutdown.

Topics explored include overcoming fan fears with the help of data, imminent and potential changes, business needs, and examples from other industries.

At a time when many fans want to return to venues but aren’t sure when to do so, gathering data responsibly and in a transparent manner can help assuage apprehensions and aid in safety procedures. This opportunity strengthens relationships, with customers and employees. While data helps us be more efficient, human relationships remain the drivers for in-venue experiences. This panel explores the balance of these factors, diving into the intersection of safety improvements and elevated fan experiences.
