On March 19, 2025, Kevin Owens, Founder and CEO of WOO architects, participated as a panellist in the Major Sporting Events Webinar: Venue Readiness and Infrastructure Development.

Hosted in Los Angeles and moderated by Marcelo Wellisch from 4global, this invite-only webinar brought together senior US stakeholders involved in major sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup, Rugby World Cups, and the Olympics. The discussion focused on UK thought leadership in venue readiness and infrastructure planning.

Key topics covered included; temporary vs. permanent infrastructure; operational requirements and overlay design; key timelines and challenges in stadium development, managing contracts with developers and sustainability strategies and integrating infrastructure projects with wider urban planning.

This webinar was a fantastic opportunity to engage with industry leaders on the complexities of sports venue development and global best practices.
