Using case study examples from Mercedes-Benz Stadium's Field Level VIP Clubs, this panel will take a deep dive into navigating the changing landscape of furniture in public assembly spaces. The dynamic group of experts will discuss client expectations and best practices for specifying the right product for the application - extending beyond aesthetics and considering factors such as durability, mobility, accessibility and functionality.
As conversions teams are constantly reconfiguring spaces, the session will address approaches to finishes and features to facilitate versatile, multi-use public environments, and to deliver high quality visitor experiences.
This panel will discuss how to champion sustainability and community connections. Panelists will underscore proactive communication across the project's lifecycle, best practices for engaging complex stakeholder networks and a pipeline for continued client communication after installation and solving for arising issues.
