I grandi stadi oggi e domani

“The Great Stadiums Today and Tomorrow” – a roundtable discussion among the big names in sports design featuring Populous, Sportium, Gau Arena, and Archea Associati, organized with SeiMedia.

The meeting, organized by Sport&Impianti and Theatro, will compare analyses of today and ideas for tomorrow.

Through institutional interventions, discussion sessions, and the technical roundtable, a space for dialogue will be created dedicated to the challenges and opportunities that large sports facilities offer for the future, both at the design and social levels.

The event, scheduled for June 18, 2026, will be organized into two training sessions:
