Kinetic Solutions Group / ARX has been named Headline Partner of TheStadiumBusiness ASIA 2026, taking place in Hong Kong from 13–15 October. As the region’s stadiums, arenas and entertainment destinations seek to host more, adapt faster and make every event day count, ARX brings a highly relevant perspective: how kinetic architecture can turn ambitious venue concepts into practical, long-term operational advantage.
ARX designs, builds and installs complex moving structures for some of the world’s most ambitious projects. Its expertise spans retractable roofs, pitches, seating and other adaptable venue systems – engineering that enables a venue to respond to different event formats while protecting its core sporting purpose.
The company’s work is already familiar to venue audiences worldwide. ARX is behind the retractable roofs at Wimbledon’s Centre Court and No.1 Court, as well as the retractable pitch and grow-light systems at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. These projects demonstrate how carefully engineered movement can help venues balance elite sport with concerts, entertainment and a broader year-round programme.
The venues that win commercially are the ones that can do more without expanding their footprint: more events, more formats, less downtime between them.
A retractable roof or pitch isn’t just a mechanical system. It’s what allows a venue to be anything the calendar demands for decades to come, from Wimbledon and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to Kai Tak Sports Park.
It’s what we bring to every project we take on, and it’s the conversation we’re glad to be having with Asia-Pacific’s venue leaders at this year’s event.”
Danny Pickard CEO, KSG (ARX)
For owners, operators, architects and developers, this is not movement for movement’s sake. It is about creating more flexibility from the same footprint: supporting a fuller event calendar, making better use of valuable space and allowing complex venues to shift efficiently between modes. ARX works with project teams from early design through to manufacture, installation and ongoing support – essential when a moving structure must perform safely and reliably for years in a live venue environment.
As Headline Partner of TheStadiumBusiness ASIA 2026, ARX will join senior decision-makers from across Asia-Pacific’s venue sector at the Dorsett Kai Tak, Hong Kong. The conversation will focus on the commercial, operational and development decisions shaping the next generation of stadiums, arenas and entertainment destinations.
Join ARX and the region’s leading venue decision-makers in Hong Kong this October.
Dorsett Kai Tak, Hong Kong | 13-15 October 2026
