Learning Lab Key Takeaways: Applying Game Day Best Practices to Campus-Wide Events Presented by JustPark

The Learning Lab focused on applying game day best practices to campus-wide events. Moderated by Drew Lee (JustPark), the session featured Brian Riggs (University of Notre Dame) and Brett Litterell (Ohio State/CampusParc), who shared insights from managing large-scale concerts and third-party events. They emphasized key differences from football operations, including a higher volume of first-time visitors at concerts. Discussion topics included real-time data management, pre-event communication, and coordinating simultaneous events across campus. The panel also covered challenges like parking capacity, cashless payments, traffic control, and integrating platforms such as JustPark and Ticketmaster, along with considerations for towing, rideshare, and medical staffing.

Reaping the Benefits of AI Without Getting Lost in the Hype

I like to think I’m tech savvy. I love geeking out on systems thinking, automation, and leveraging technology to work smarter. In many ways, I’m very excited about what AI can do. At the same time, the proliferation of AI slop, occasionally frustrating shortcomings of the tools, and the sheer ubiquity of the topic in our personal and professional lives sometimes leaves me thinking “enough with the AI already…”.

The Spaces Between Us

I’ve stood in poorly lit parking garages on both sides of the Atlantic, and the feeling is exactly the same. That instinctive shift in awareness — keys ready, pace quickened, a quick text to let someone know you’ve arrived safely. It doesn’t matter whether I’m in a UK multi-storey or a parking garage Stateside. The experience is universal.
