Turning member data
into industry benchmarks
ESSMA gathers what actually works across Europe's venues — through mastermind groups, surveys and summits — and turns it into reports, benchmarks and best practice the whole network can use.
How you can contribute
Three ways members feed the network’s knowledge — from deep working groups to quick surveys and the insight shared on stage.
Mastermind groups
Five working groups accelerate better stadium operations. Members bring real problems; ESSMA turns the input into best-practice toolkits.
Surveys
Our surveys conduct in-depth research at clubs and stadiums across Europe — building an industry benchmark everyone can lean on.
Summit & workshops
We educate and inspire members with industry experts. Workshops focus on a single topic; the annual Summit covers the big themes.
