The Pro Sports & Entertainment Facilities Summit (PSEFS) is an invitation-only executive conference for Vice Presidents and Directors of Construction, Operations, and Event Services to share knowledge and discover solutions to enhance their facilities and operations. Unlike a traditional conference or tradeshow, PSEFS provides you with the undivided attention of the senior administrators over 3 days through targeted sessions, networking functions, and pre-arranged meetings.
PSEFS has transformed the executive conference experience. Unlike other industry events, PSEFS is smaller and allows you to build solid relationships with the administrators of capital planning for pro sport and entertainment venues. This all-inclusive Summit provides an intimate setting and creates a highly effective channel for true collaboration with the best-in-class vendor companies.
