What if you could walk into a packed stadium, grab a drink, and head straight to your seat—without ever pulling out a ticket, your wallet or standing in forever lines? In this very timely conversation, considering the upcoming World Cup 2026, Rob is joined by Christian Lau, Chief Technology Officer of LAFC (Los Angeles Football Club of the MLS), and BMO Stadium in Los Angeles, who shares his leadership insights into how technology is transforming the fan experience at stadiums worldwide, blending AI, biometrics, and seamless design to create frictionless, memorable events whether it be sports, concerts or other events. Discover how innovative stadium technology and human centered design can redefine live entertainment and sports, and learn practical lessons for industry leaders who want to build the crowd-pleasing experiences of tomorrow.
