VENUE
 The
ISS Canary Wharf Squash Classic will be staged on a glass court
situated in the spectacular East Wintergarden.
This state of
the art venue attracts a weekly footfall of
thousands of people, who will be exposed to both the sport of squash and
the companies who are associated with the event.
We expect many of those companies to be Canary Wharf tenants, who will be
able to enjoy the convenience and impact of having a world-class sporting
event staged literally on their doorstep.
 The
event is designed to provide a corporate vehicle for sponsors, attracting
spectators to Canary Wharf and generating media coverage that will present
positive images of the venue and the sponsors to regional, national and
international audiences.
Spectators get a great view of the action from all around the spectacular
glass court, which incorporates highly visible event branding.
Using the very latest all-glass court, with its innovative “contra-dot”
system, the event will give the spectators the chance to see the world's
best squash players battle it out from all four sides of the court.
Reserved seating will be erected on three sides of the court, behind the
back wall and the two sidewalls.
