Behind the event: Our CEO Omri Dekalo joins Sports Business Leaders
Our CEO and Co-Founder, Omri Dekalo, joined the Sports Business Leaders podcast to explore the people, planning and technology behind major sports and live events.
When fans arrive at a stadium, they see the pitch, the stands and the build-up to kick-off. Behind that experience is a workforce operation that starts long before the gates open.
From catering and hospitality to security and event staff, every team has a part to play. Getting the right people to the right place, at the right time, is essential to making the whole event work.
In episode 203 of the Sports Business Leaders podcast, Omri discusses what it takes to manage this complexity and how technology is changing the way teams plan, manage and deliver events.
The people behind the experience
A staffing plan is only the starting point. Availability changes, last-minute gaps appear and managers need to respond while keeping the wider operation running.
Across a stadium, different departments, suppliers and teams need to work together. Workers need clear instructions, managers need visibility and everyone needs to know when something changes.
These are the operational details that fans rarely see, but they help shape every part of the event experience, from arrival to the final whistle.
How technology is changing event operations
The conversation also explores the role technology plays in helping teams handle these demands.
At Ubeya, we work with organisations facing this complexity every day. We see how much coordination goes into delivering an event, and how difficult that becomes when schedules, messages and attendance information sit in different places.
By bringing scheduling, communication, time and attendance, and workforce management together, we help teams spend less time chasing information and more time running their operations.
A conversation about what makes events possible
Sport and live events depend on the people working behind the scenes. This episode puts their work in focus, exploring the coordination required to deliver at scale and the tools helping the industry move forward.
For anyone involved in stadium management, event delivery or workforce operations, it’s a conversation about challenges that will feel familiar.
