At Xperiology, we believe that bringing our sports and entertainment communities together should create an impact that reaches far beyond the conference room.

At our recent TheTicketingBusiness Forum 2026, the global entertainment ecommerce community delivered a donation of £3,950 for our long standing charity partner EMERGENCY.

Through a combination of onsite delegate donations and our Donations for Nominations initiative, these funds go directly toward delivering free, life saving medical care for people affected by war and poverty.

On the ground in Gaza

A poignant moment during TheTicketingBusiness Awards 2026 ceremony was a recorded message from Alessandro Lamberti-Castronuovo (Primary Health Care Focal Point, EMERGENCY ONG), currently on the ground in Gaza. He shared his gratitude for the generosity shown by our community, noting that such support is what allows their surgical and medical teams to stay present and continue supporting those who need it most.

 

Looking ahead

David Lloyd Webber, Managing Director of EMERGENCY ONG, highlighted the “extraordinary difference” these annual contributions make to their frontline work.

For Xperiology, this partnership is a core pillar of our event philosophy. It is about more than just business networking; it is about using our platform, our people and our global partnerships to create meaningful, lasting impact in the real world. We are proud to continue this commitment to EMERGENCY across our future industry events.
