Great having Christian and Joel from our team representing Fortress at the SportsPro Conference in NYC and connecting with teams, partners, and industry leaders while hearing firsthand how organizations across sports are thinking about the future.

Always great to start off the year with the Fiesta Bowl! Another epic showdown, with Fortress providing primary and secondary access control for fans.

Warm holiday wishes, from all of us at Fortress.

Thank you, Louisville! Our largest US Client Meeting to date with 140 people in attendance. It was an incredible time thanks to our clients at Churchill Downs – An absolute masterclass in hospitality led by Sarah Contardo and Ryan Spurr on the event side, who made sure our visit would be unforgettable. It is amazing to see how far we’ve come since our early days of hosting these meetings. We loved experiencing the unique elements of Louisville and taking over the new Hotel Bourre Bonne, which hosted us for more meetings and fun events. Until next time…
