“On behalf of the EAA board and its 34 arenas across Europe, we are very pleased to welcome Nancy as the general manager,” says Brian Kabatznick, the association’s president. “The EAA has many strategic initiatives planned for 2016, including hosting an arena security symposium to be held during the spring meeting in Birmingham; introducing new content initiatives for our venues; and implementing a special summer meeting to visit the three major arenas in the New York area.

“Nancy’s expertise will add great value to our members and objectives.”

Nancy Skipper adds: “The European Arenas Association represents 34 venues in 21 different European countries, and I am delighted to be working with the association and looking forward to the challenges of working with such a diverse group.”

The results of a research project on 2015 attendance statistics for EAA arenas will be published at the 28th International Live Music Conference (ILMC) next month.
