The symposium, which will be conducted mainly in German, is organised and promoted by SportFive, which is the commercial partner behind a number of major European soccer teams.
The symposium - 'New Stadiums; Smaller and More Efficient' – includes sessions dealing with issues ranging from the philosophy behind the development of smaller stadiums, the relationship between good architecture and finance, facility management issues and stadium catering.
It will also look at the role of stadiums as the driver of local and regional economies and examine the impact that the development of the AOL Arena has had on Hamburg SV.
