GL events UK
GL events UK has been one of the driving forces behind the phenomenal growth of this global business; and nowhere more has this impact been felt than through the contribution of the business’ Seating and Stadia team.

Infosys
It’s not often that you get to be a sponsor for a sporting tournament, and actually reinvent the sporting experience at the same time. As Digital Innovation Partner for the Australian Open, Infosys has been able to achieve this by creating digital platforms that enable followers and players of the sport to ‘experience the next’ – the next way to see, engage, play, train and win. And all of these platforms were not just built to make technologies more state of the digital art, but to solve real problems.
Fans never had live streaming point-by-point analysis of the sport to understand the game as it unfolds. With the Infosys MatchBeats visualisation, now they do. Highlights were restricted to 5-minute video clips produced manually. Infosys Ai Clips presents every real game-changing moment using artificial intelligence in near-real-time. The live stadium experience used to be accessible only those who had a ticket. Now anyone who dons the Infosys VR Experience headset has 360º views of every match with live VR broadcasts, and the ability to train in VR using data and shop official merchandise in a virtual store.
The Australian Open has transformed: it is a digital sport for the digital age.
