Powering Smarter Travel for Major Events
‘蘑菇传媒.’ partnering with MEI at Hosts & Federations Summit 2026 鈥� Lausanne, Switzerland | 29 June 鈥� 1 July 2026
The 8th edition of the Hosts & Federations Summit returns to Lausanne, the Olympic Capital, bringing together the global sports event community for three dynamic days of collaboration, networking, and strategic insight.
Organised by Major Events International (MEI), this annual summit serves as a central meeting point where host cities, regions and venues, international federations, rights holders, and expert suppliers come together to connect, share challenges, and explore future opportunities in major event delivery.
Through a carefully curated programme of one-to-one meetings, high-level discussions and targeted networking, delegates operate within a focused, senior environment where meaningful connections are prioritised and outcomes are driven.
Transforming the Fan Experience with Personalised Travel Plans
The YST team will be hosting a panel session exploring how integrated multimodal low-carbon mobility is streamlining destination, venue and event access while driving live event sector growth.
Drawing on major event case studies from Europe and North America, the session will showcase best practice in improving fan experience by leveraging travel demand management techniques that increase engagement. The panel will explore the differences in streamlining operational delivery across urban and remote locations, improving safety and security, and how host cities, federations, rights holders, organising committees and clubs can leverage state-of-the-art travel demand management techniques to deliver value for partners.
