Testimonial:
“I’m happy to have been a founding member of ALSD in the 1990s. There are three things that I gained from my experience and why we joined.
One is a tremendous learning experience. If you’re new and interested in venues, stadiums, and arenas, you’ll learn from some of the highest-level professionals in the industry and around the world about how these venues are built and operated, and how the premium experience is done correctly. You’ll learn how to do things better.
I’ve toured over 40 stadiums with ALSD and met people at each one of those events. I made sure I got on that bus and bumped into people and asked them about themselves. I think that’s critical for any any member. Participate in all the events as many as you can.
Second, through that experience, I was able to network and meet some long-standing leaders and mentors. ALSD reaches all over the world, and the influence is tremendous.
Lastly, I’ve been able to connect with associates who operate these venues to find out what they need. In doing so, we’ve been able to provide solutions in the suites. ”
