Peer Groups
The SMA Operations Peer Groups were created to:
- Provide education and resources to all members that is timely, consistent, relevant, valuable, and delivered via a variety of mediums for maximum impact.
- Create a SMA network of members that spans departments and focuses on both peer discussion groups as well as deep dives into ALL operations groups that "make the gameday go!"
Operations Peer Groups are virtual roundtable discussions highlighting hot topics within Safety & Security, Guest Services, and Facility Management. All SMA members are invited and encouraged to participate in these roundtable discussions to exchange information and talk about key business issues. These sessions are included in your member benefits, but we do ask all members to register to attend.
These discussions will be recorded and available for later viewing.
