The SMG Europe Story
The SMG story is one of professionalism, expertise and unparalleled success.
It all began in 1977 with our first account, the Louisiana Superdome (now the Mercedes Benz Superdome). Over the last 40 years, we’ve carved out a management philosophy and style that has earned us our industry-leading position. We now have in excess of 220 venues throughout the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, United Kingdom and Germany as well as a presence in Hong Kong and China.
SMG Europe is a wholly owned subsidiary of SMG. Based at the Manchester Arena in the UK, we work on projects throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Australasia. Our ownership and dedicated corporate support personnel, combined with SMG’s industry experience, gives us the financial stability and leadership qualities to support an international network of entertainment, sport and meeting facilities.
