John Siehl Wants YOU To
Volunteer
“You are the only person on this earth that can use your
ability.”
Anonymous
We continue to live with difficult economic times, and your IAAM
membership is more valuable than ever as you connect with peers
and have the leadership of an association helping guide you
through challenging and complicated business decisions. You can
make a difference in the future of our association and in this
industry that has been so good to us by becoming an active IAAM
volunteer. It is during these times when your input, experience,
leadership and abilities as a volunteer are most needed!
If you have thought about volunteering before, act on it now!
There is much to do as IAAM continues to keep our industry
informed and educated. Do you want to become involved with one
of the meetings you attend or that you send your staff to? Are
you looking at making your
venue more green and sustainable? Does the safety and security
of your patrons keep you awake at night? Are you interested in
diversity and inclusion, or gathering and documenting the
history of our association? These are just a few of the many
options available for volunteers.
The IAAM Foundation makes many contributions by funding start-up
programs that have developed into successful schools and
educational tools. The Board of Trustees is also looking for
volunteers for their Annual Giving Campaign and Silent Auction
Committees.
As your incoming IAAM Chairman of the Board beginning this July
at our Annual Conference in Houston, I look forward to the
opportunity of serving you and working with you as we continue
to grow IAAM and shape this very important industry. Please
consider lending your support by volunteering for one of
numerous opportunities that are available. It can be one of the
most rewarding experiences in your career!

IAAM 1st Vice Chair
IAAM Foundation
Administration Change
Michael Taormina, CFE, chair of the IAAM Foundation Board of
Trustees, announced that effective April 1, 2010, the position
held by Jill Dotts, MBA, CFRE, as Director, Foundation and Fund
Development, will be eliminated.
"Jill's professionalism and experience have contributed to the
success of the Foundation's initiatives and has positioned us
for continued growth and achievement of our future programs,”
said Taormina. “Her leadership and guidance will continue to
influence the Foundation as we further the important work of our
industry."
Over the last several years, the IAAM Foundation has embarked
upon an aggressive campaign to successfully develop a major
gifts program, but a difficult economy helped lead to a
suspension of the campaign efforts and subsequently the
elimination of the position. The Foundation is currently
assessing its reorganization as it looks ahead to future
fundraising efforts.
“IAAM will continue to be a supportive partner to help advance
the Foundation’s goals, working closely with the Trustees in
coordination of mutual objectives,” said Shura Lindgren-Garnett,
CFE, IAAM Chairman of the Board.
Sarah Rogers, IAAM Foundation Development Associate, will
continue in her current role. “I know that Sarah is committed to
our work and will continue to excel on our behalf,” said
Taormina.
RSAT: Free Online Tool
to Help Identify Gaps In Venue Security
Our nation’s 3,000 stadiums and arenas offer exciting sports and
entertainment to scores of Americans throughout the year. But we
know these important facilities also face ever-present threats
from natural and manmade disasters, and foreign and domestic
terrorist attacks.
The Risk Self Assessment Tool (RSAT) is a new, free
online program from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS),
designed to help stadium and arena managers assess risks and
threats, and identify where new protective measures, training
and procedures are most needed.
RSAT is the result of a 15-month cooperative project between DHS
and IAAM’s Life Safety Council.
How it works: RSAT combines input from your facility with DHS
threat and consequence estimates to create a snapshot assessment
of vulnerabilities and prioritizes where new or enhanced
protective measures are needed.
With this easy-to-use and no-cost online program, you’ll be able
to:
• Determine which threats are most probable for your
venue, using a 1-7 threat rating scale.
• Obtain detailed evaluations of at least one natural
hazard and two manmade hazards that you identify
for closer review.
• Evaluate your emergency preparedness planning and
procedures, and review practical advice for improvements.
• Get valuable reference and resource information to
maintain preparedness.
The stadium and arena version of RSAT is available now. Online
RSAT versions for convention centers, performing arts centers
and other types of venues also will be made available in the
coming months. All versions are free.
How to get RSAT: To start using RSAT, you’ll need to register
at:
https://rsat.iac.anl.gov/register.
• The registration form will ask: Where did you learn
about RSAT? Select “IAAM.” This will guide
the DHS vetting process to approve your
access to the RSAT.
• Once approved, you will receive two e-mails from DHS
that provide (1) username and
instructions, and (2) a password.
• An RSAT user guide is available for download after
logging in.

INDUSTRY NEWS
Live Nation, Ticketmaster
Merger Receives U.S. Department Of Justice Clearance
Live Nation, Inc. and Ticketmaster Entertainment, Inc. announced
that they have reached agreements with the U.S. Department of
Justice (DOJ) and with the Canadian Commissioner of Competition,
clearing the way for the merger of the companies. Upon closing,
the company will be renamed Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. to
reflect the combination of Live Nation's concert promotions
expertise with Ticketmaster's ticketing solutions and artist
relationships.
Under the terms of the proposed final judgment filed today in
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the companies
have agreed to divest Ticketmaster's self-ticketing subsidiary,
Paciolan, to Comcast-Spectacor and to license the Ticketmaster
Host technology to Anschutz Entertainment Group, Inc., as well
as to other terms that protect competitive conditions in
ticketing and promotions.
Seventeen State Attorneys General also participated in the
matter and have joined in the U.S. consent decree. The parties'
consent agreement with the Canadian Commissioner of Competition
is on substantially equivalent terms.
Michael Rapino, CEO of Live Nation, said, "This is a good and
exciting day for the music business, and we are close to
finalizing the creation of a new company that will seek to
transform the way artists distribute their content and fans can
access that content. The Department of Justice was thorough and
aggressive in their analysis and their remedies, and we are
confident that with this resolution the playing field is
competitive and broader as a result of this transaction. We
believe that this merger will now create a more diversified
company with a great selling platform for artists and a stronger
financial profile that will drive improved shareholder value
over the long term."
Irving Azoff, CEO of Ticketmaster, said, "We appreciate the
Department of Justice's effort. Their resolution is a great win
for fans. The entertainment industry needs innovation and we are
ready to deliver. I'm truly excited that as this new company
goes forward, we will be able to create more choices for family
entertainment, sports, artists, teams and other rights holders."
Live Nation Entertainment's mission will be to improve the live
entertainment experience and to drive major innovations in
ticketing technology, marketing and service. Through this
merger, the parties believe that the combined company will have
the tools to develop new products, expand access, improve
transparency and deliver artists and fans more choice. This will
drive greater attendance at live events and bringing more value
to all major constituents in the industry.
The combined company also expects to pursue significant growth
opportunities in markets around the world. Internationally, live
entertainment remains one of the fastest growing parts of the
media industry.
As previously announced, in connection with the merger, each
issued and outstanding share of Ticketmaster common stock will
be cancelled and converted into the right to receive a number of
shares of Live Nation common stock such that Ticketmaster
stockholders will receive approximately 50.01% of the voting
power of the combined company.
Subject to final confirmation, the companies expect each share
of Ticketmaster common stock to be cancelled and converted into
the right to receive 1.474 shares of Live Nation common stock in
connection with the merger and for Live Nation to issue
approximately 84,613,661 shares of Live Nation common stock to
Ticketmaster stockholders in the aggregate.
The combined company will be led by Michael Rapino as CEO and
President of Live Nation Entertainment and Irving Azoff as
Executive Chairman of Live Nation Entertainment and CEO of Front
Line. Barry Diller will serve as Chairman of the Board of Live
Nation Entertainment. The Board will consist of 14 directors,
seven from each company.
Tom Mobley Inducted Into
CIC Hall Of Leaders
Tom Mobley, industry veteran and senior vice president for
convention centers for Global Spectrum Facility Management, was
recently honored as a 2010 inductee into the Convention Industry
Council’s (CIC) Hall of Leaders. Mobley and four other industry
peers were recognized on January 11 during a gala held at the
Fairmont Hotel in Dallas.
In his recognition remarks, Mobley thanked those involved from
his early career days in Baltimore through his stops in
convention center operations, design and development in
Jacksonville, Denver, Chicago and Washington, D.C.
Program remarks about Mobley noted that, “Wherever he landed,
Tom brought his unique vision and talent to his city and his
building. Tom has been credited with orchestrating major union
changes at McCormick Place, and while at the Washington DC
Convention Center, he worked with unions to cooperatively
develop a random drug test program that has been duplicated in
centers around the country. Tom’s focus on meeting his
customers’ needs ensured those elements survived the design and
value engineering process and leading to design changes at
McCormick Place which increased the meeting to exhibit space
ratio.”
Mobley has served numerous leadership roles in the industry,
including chair of the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR)
and the Convention Industry Council, as well as a board member
of the Exhibition Industry and PCMA Foundations.
The CIC has honored outstanding individuals in the meetings,
conventions, exhibitions and travel industries through the Hall
of Leaders since 1985.

Goodbye,
Land Shark Stadium, Hello Sun Life Stadium In Miami
The stadium that is home to the NFL Miami Dolphins and Major
League Baseball Florida Marlins has certainly had its share of
names over the years and now has another as Toronto-based
financial services business Sun Life secured a five-year naming
rights deal for the venue to be called Sun Life Stadium.
The timing could not be better for the company as the change
takes place in time for the upcoming NFL Pro Bowl game and the
Super Bowl on February 7.
In addition to the Dolphins and Marlins, the University of Miami
Hurricanes also calls the stadium home. The venue has hosted
four Super Bowls, two World Series and three Bowl Championship
Series (BCS) national title games.
The stadium had gone by Land Shark Stadium last year as part of
a one-year agreement. In the past the venue has also been called
Pro Player Stadium.

Dean Evans
& Associates, Inc. Initiates Facility Scheduling And Resource
Utilization Benchmarking Process
Dean Evans & Associates, Inc., makers of the EMS line of
facility scheduling and web calendar products, announced that
work is underway on an ambitious benchmarking process that will
involve members of its 3,700-organization customer base as well
as a number of prospective customers. The project, believed to
be the first cross-industry survey of its kind, will involve
querying participants on a number of facility scheduling,
meeting services and resource utilization issues.
“The availability of benchmarking data will give decision makers
in the many industries we serve a solid foundation from which to
issue directives on everything from hiring to resource
acquisition to process improvements,” said Kevin Raasch,
executive vice president of Dean Evans & Associates. “Too often
these executives are asked to make difficult facility-related
decisions with little, if any, supporting data. Our goal is to
give them details on how their real estate and resource
utilization stacks up to that of other organizations so that
they are well-informed and can plot a course to higher
productivity and greater profitability.”
The benchmarking process will be ongoing, with complete results
and analysis made available free to participants. “We feel that
providing information that is cross-industry will allow
participants to see how their scheduling operations compare to
other similar venues as well as to facilities of all types,”
said Raasch. “And the fact that the data will be updated
continually gives them both a snapshot view and the ability to
assess evolving trends in facility management.”
Tulsa Convention Center
Opened After $50.5 Million Expansion
The Tulsa (OK) Convention Center has completed a $50.5 million
expansion project that began in September 2008 and included the
addition of 10 meeting rooms, upgraded lights and flooring, a
new north entrance and enhanced outdoor areas. A new
30,000-square-foot ballroom was also added.
The new center will attract more conventions and events to Tulsa
and should spur the ongoing revitalization of downtown, said
Kathy Tinker, director of convention sales and marketing.

regional general manager of the Greater Columbus Convention
Center. “We depend on the excellent customer service and quality
technology services provided by Smart City to meet our visitors’
needs. We are very pleased to continue our long-standing
partnership.”
“We greatly value the confidence the Greater Columbus Convention
Center has in Smart City services and our local team,” said Mark

10-year partnership, we look forward to continuing to serve this
premier facility in the new decade ahead.”

team that has achieved excellence for either a new or retrofit
