Coliseum Summit: the global forum for sporting venues
This exclusive event was the gathering place for a select group of 200 industry professionals. With presentations on architectural design, sustainability, technology and user experience, the forum facilitates the exchange of knowledge and the generation of new opportunities for the development of more efficient, innovative and profitable sports venues.
This edition addressed key topics such as the evolution of stadiums in the digital age, the implementation of advanced technological solutions, and the role of sustainability in the development of sports infrastructure. It also featured case studies from some of the world’s most innovative venues.
IDOM and Cruzados: a conversation about the future of Claro Arena
One of the highlights of the event was the presentation of the Claro Arena, the stadium being transformed by Cruzados, the football club of the Catholic University of Chile. In an interview, Javier Davila, Project Manager of IDOM, spoke with Juan Tagle, President of Cruzados, about the vision and challenges of the project.
The Claro Arena is becoming one of the most sustainable and modern sports venues in South America. Designed as a multifunctional space, the stadium will host not only soccer matches, but also cultural and entertainment events. The presentation highlighted the architectural and technological solutions implemented to improve energy efficiency, reduce environmental impact and enhance the spectator experience.
We are proud to be part of this transformation, contributing our expertise in sustainable stadium design and construction. Coliseum Summit Europe was an exceptional opportunity to share our vision and learn from other innovative projects in the global sports venue industry.
