Recap: Igor’s Internship at Imagineear
Igor Mejzner has been a friendly face and active team player at Imagineear over the past six months, completing his graduation internship alongside his bachelor’s degree. His work during this time was awarded an excellent final grade of 9.5 by his university. As his internship comes to an end, he shares a recap of his time with us in our Amsterdam office.
From the start, Igor knew he wanted to work in the sports and entertainment industry, and his time at Imagineear gave him the chance to step beyond university lectures and into real-world projects. Within his first month, he was already working with colleague Will to record backstage content for the 360-video section at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
One of the highlights of Igor’s internship was visiting stadiums across the Netherlands, followed by what he describes as the most memorable experience of all: a trip to Germany where he visited five stadiums in five days. These included the Allianz Arena, Signal Iduna Park and the Olympic Stadium in Berlin, venues he had previously only seen on television. During these visits, he gained valuable insight into how different stadiums operate, how tours are structured and how visitor experiences are delivered.
Back in the office, Igor contributed to several internal projects, from supporting the launch of TourGuide+ to assisting with design work and compiling research reports. Together, these experiences helped him develop a deeper understanding of the industry and the work that goes into creating engaging visitor experiences.
Of course, it wasn’t all work! From company outings and bowling evenings to ‘gezellig’ office lunches and our Christmas party, Igor quickly became part of the team.
Although his internship is ending, Igor’s journey with Imagineear continues. He will now begin his thesis research, exploring customer behaviour and how Imagineear’s services can adapt to different international markets. We look forward to seeing where his research leads!
As Igor puts it: “It has been a pleasure growing as a professional here over the last half-year, and I am excited to see what these upcoming months of research will bring.”
Imagineear Achieves ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 Certification
At Imagineear, the way we impact our clients, and the environment, is at the heart of everything we do. Actions speak louder than words, and to back up our commitment, we pursued and achieved ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management) certification.
But what do these certifications really mean?
ISO 9001 certification is an internationally recognised standard that proves our operations meet the highest benchmarks for quality management. In practice, this means our clients can expect consistently reliable service, clear communication, strong governance, and a team dedicated to delivering exceptional experiences. This recognition reflects the standards Imagineear has championed for many years, ensuring the visitor experiences we support are delivered seamlessly and with excellence. 
ISO 14001 certification, on the other hand, is a testament to our ongoing commitment to the environment. It confirms that we actively manage and reduce our environmental impact, from minimising waste and extending device lifespans to responsibly sourcing materials and continuously improving our environmental performance. In short, sustainability is built into the way we operate and make decisions every day.
We are committed to upholding these certifications. They give our clients confidence that quality and sustainability are embedded in everything we do.
A Busy Season of Events!
The last two months have been a busy and brilliant time for Imagineear. Our team has been travelling across Europe, meeting partners, joining conversations shaping the cultural, heritage, tourism and sports sectors.
Ireland
We began in Dublin at the International Marine, Lighthouse Tourism & Maritime Heritage Conference, held in the stunning surrounds of Dublin Castle. Experts shared powerful insights on protecting and revitalising lighthouses and marine heritage, themes that resonate with our work in place-based storytelling.
From there, we headed south to Waterford for AVEA, Ireland’s gathering for visitor experiences and attractions. It was a full programme, rich with debate, and AI emerged as a key topic shaping the future of cultural engagement.
Our final Irish stop took us to the atmospheric Lisnavagh House in Carlow for the Historic Houses of Ireland Autumn School. Intimate in scale but mighty in content, the event gave us the chance to show how Imagineear can help historic homes share their rich histories in new ways.
The Netherlands & Denmark
October also brought us to Eindhoven for the Dutch Museum Congress. This year’s theme Perspective invited museums to look ahead, rethink challenges, and strengthen the sector for the future.
Later that month we set up our booth in Horsens for the NEMO European Museum Conference. Over three energising days, museum professionals explored the role of culture in mental health and wellbeing. The conversations were thoughtful, urgent, and full of possibility.
A short journey to Copenhagen then brought us to The International Museum Construction Congress (IMCC). Surrounded by architects, designers and museum leaders, we dove into discussions on future-proofing cultural spaces and exploring innovative approaches.
London
Back in London, we joined thousands of tourism professionals at the World Travel Market, which set a new record with 46,500 attendees - the event’s largest ever. It was an incredible opportunity to reconnect with partners from across the globe, share ideas, and explore the latest trends shaping travel, culture, and visitor experiences.
Madrid & Rome 
In Madrid, the Spanish capital, we attended the World Football Summit, where leaders from across the sports world came together to debate the future of the game. And we couldn’t resist visiting the iconic Bernabéu and Metropolitano stadiums while we were there!
We closed this period of travel in Rome at the International Fair on Museums, Venues and Cultural Destinations. Set within the historic Corsie Sistine of the Complesso Monumentale di Santo Spirito in Sassia, the event gathered Italy’s cultural sector under the theme Better Together, a message we couldn’t agree with more.
