Take advantage of all SMA programming, aimed to help you engage, learn and connect. Our educational and networking sessions include webinars, hosted educational videos, Regional Forums and our Annual Seminar.

Webinars

We’ve incorporated the specialized focus areas of our members directly into our webinar programming. Each session will reflect the topics, trends, and challenges relevant to key areas within the stadium and venue management profession, ensuring valuable content for professionals across every role. These sessions are included in your member benefits, but we do ask all members to register to attend.

Webinar focus areas include:

  • Stadium Operations & Safety
  • Facility Maintenance & Upgrades
  • Guest Experience & Fan Engagement
  • Sustainability & Stadium Design
  • Event Scheduling & Revenue Strategy
  • Technology in Stadium Management
  • Leadership & Career Development in Stadium Management

SMA webinars are designed to be a convenient resource for members to connect with industry peers and learn from experts across the field. Stay informed, stay engaged, and stay ahead in stadium management, venue operations, and the evolving world of live events with SMA Webinars.

These discussions will be recorded and available for later viewing.

Regional Forums

Regional Forums allow for an additional opportunity, outside of seminar, to connect with other members face-to-face. SMA evaluates locations annually in order to allow for more members to participate in a Forum close to their communities.

If you have any questions or wish to be considered as a host location, please reach out to the SMA team.

At the moment, SMA does not have any additional details on upcoming dates and locations for Regional Forums. Information will be shared here as we have more available.

SMA's Education Initiative is the product of much planning and is fueled by commitment to our members and our strategic plan.
