Events Manager, Nyiko Minyuku, said “We pride ourselves on creating concepts that stimulate the sporting mind beyond typically topical issues.
We come off of three successful Stadium and Facilities Conferences that were hosted in the past and we now look forward to opening our doors for this sort of interaction once again. The manner in which we have curated the curriculum is suited to the cricket fraternity but is appropriate for venue professionals, business students, and even sport enthusiasts to register attend moreover.”
“The aim of these courses are to ensure best practices, but also to encourage greater industry knowledge share,” Titans Cricket CEO Dr Jacques Faul explained.
“We are very excited to link our fantastic venue SuperSport Park with world-famous venues like Loftus Versfeld and FNB Soccer City. When we share knowledge, we grow, and we look forward to this Sports Facilities Academy in partnership with John Deere” Faul added.
