Xperiology's total focus is the global sports, leisure and entertainment sector.

Xperiology’s founders – Ian Nuttall and Angelina Tennino – have delivered award-winning publications, respected information sources and consistently successful business meetings.

Ian Nuttall

With an award-winning career in sports, publishing and events (starting with F1 hospitality in his student days and spanning over 25 years – yes he is that old!), Ian founded Stadia magazine in 1999 (and its sister title Auditoria for the arts, theatre and entertainment venue sector in 2001) to serve the information needs of the growing venue management sector. He created the Stadium Revenue Summit in 2004 and has chaired every edition since. Furthermore, he brainstormed the Auditoria Executive Summit and steered the Stadia Design & Technology conferences in 2008 and 2009. A trusted advisor to the sports and entertainment facilities sector, Ian is also a co-founder of EVMI, which provides custom training to individuals and venues.

Angelina Tennino

Angelina began her career at the cutting-edge of the media sector – in advertising sales – before moving on to conference, exhibition and event organisation. Her events portfolio ranges from large-scale exhibitions (such as Passenger Terminal Expo with over 1,000 delegates) to bespoke meetings for a handful of demanding executives. She has a passion for and a committed focus on the total visitor experience (hence the new company name) and has consistently delivered beyond expectations. To quote one venue professional: “Angelina, you organise the most professional, most effective and most enjoyable events in the industry – long may it continue”. The company also provides training, consulting and advisory services to the sports, entertainment and arts sectors – specialising in design optimisation, commercial planning and visitor path engineering.

Cynthia Howard

Famed for never forgetting a name, Cynthia manages our hotel and venue sourcing needs for our events, as well as overseeing logistics for our conference speakers and panellists.
