The brightonSEO UK ballot opens next week! There's now just over a week until the ballot opens for FREE TICKETS to the next UK edition of brightonSEO, happening April 10-11. If you’d like a free ticket for April's conference you'll have 48 hours from noon next Wednesday to register your interest. Once that window shuts we'll randomly select people to give them to, and tell you if you've won one. Ballot tickets are valid for one day only. When you enter the ballot you can specify which date you’d prefer or let us pick one at random. Whichever you get your ticket will include entry to that day's Hero Conf, as it makes its return to the UK. If you're on our mailing list - and if not, why not? - we'll notify you there the moment the form is live. We'll of course be making some noise about it here as well. To be truly belt and braces about it, add the event to your calendar here: https://lnkd.in/enQu7hVH

Why Poker Works: Poker is scalable. Whether for an intimate VIP experience, a networking event, or a full-scale team building activity, poker tournaments can accommodate 6 to 200 players without leaving the venue. We recommend using poker as a post-welcome dinner activity. It is a great soft-close to a day one. #teambuilding #corporateevent #companyparty

Here's my BFF Summit 25 presentation video with a few new clips from The Gauntlet EP2 and a revamped Tariq Conquest of Iberia game teaser.

UTS London by Builder.ai was such a blast! Sold out crowds at the Copper Box Arena for 3 days, a boiling atmosphere, and an amazing level of tennis, embodied by the thrilling final between Alex de Minaur and Holger Rune. The UTS Tour Grand Final was truly tennis like never before!   Now that our season is over, it’s time to take a step back to reflect on the incredible journey 2024 has been, developing UTS Tour according to the disruptive vision of our founder Patrick Mouratoglou.   Here are 4 takeaways from 2024: 1) The crowds love UTS Tour because it feels right as a spectator. You shouldn’t be afraid to talk, move or cheer when you attend a sports event. UTS gives you the freedom to enjoy tennis matches in the stadium the way you like. London fans quickly understood it: when the packed arena started chanting mid-point like in a football stadium, we hit a new all-time high in terms of atmosphere. Goosebumps on my end! 2) The players love our format, and we can propose super appealing rosters to fans and viewers. We were proud to have more than half of the top 20 on UTS Tour this past year. And were equally thrilled to have fan favorites on the roster like Kyrgios, Monfils, Bublik or Shapovalov. So much variety in characters and playing styles, such a thrill to watch and follow! 3) The intensity and seriousness of UTS Tour is now clearly recognized. Thanks to our rules, we suppressed the moments of downtime of “normal tennis” and we play 70% more points per hour than on the traditional tour. The rhythm is fast and furious, and you just need to look at the players trying to catch their breath after each rally to see that they are giving it all on the court. The UTS format is demanding for the players, and they have to fight like crazy if they want to be winning at it. 4) Innovation is our DNA. Modernizing tennis and making it relevant to new fans is our motto. Timed quarters, no let, one serve only, VAR, …Each UTS event we try to add new features of modernity, our satisfaction surveys show that fans love it, and we will keep doing so in the future!   I would like to thank warmly all stakeholders who made the 2024 season possible, and especially our global partners Builder.ai, ZENITH Watches and Finseta who bring so much to our events - amazing to build this together.   Now we start preparing for 2025 with two amazing locations already announced! Our first ever event in Latin America will take place in vibrant Guadalajara in February. And we will continue with an iconic French venue in April : the 12 000 seater colisseum of Nîmes, a 1st century gladiator arena that fits so well UTS Tour, where a sold out crowd will see our star players battle on a temporary clay court. Can’t wait to see you at UTS Guadalajara and at BASTIDE LE CONFORT MEDICAL UTS Nîmes with Patrick Mouratoglou and all the UTS Tour teams!   Below a great sizzle movie from London, have a great holiday season everyone!

When it comes to event presentation, you've got to hand it to the Las Vegas Sphere. But it does raise the question of cost... If everyone had infinite budgets, we could all create events like this UFC match with incredible 3D visuals and amazing effects. While I can appreciate the dome and how it enhances the events hosted inside, the thing cost 2.3 Billion to make! Talk about blowing the lid on budget! You can just imagine what it costs to host any kind of event inside of it. 🤯 Budget is a key aspect of any event! But more on this in another post.
