All the details for Broadcast Sport’s free-to-attend all day event at BT Sport studios on Thursday (14 November)
Broadcast Sport is bringing the very popular Tech Innovation Forum back to the vibrant atmosphere of BT Sport’s studios in Stratford, London, this Thursday (14 November). It’s the second year for the event, and this year we’ve gone even bigger and better, with a succession of compelling speaker sessions featuring some of the most pioneering and respected names in sports production, broadcast and tech innovation.
Throughout the day, the theme of innovation is explored in depth, with topics including the growth of remote production and virtual studios, enhancements in on-screen graphics and sports analysis, the rise and rise of esports, and the tech that will drive future production trends.
Across the different sessions are speakers from some of the most influential sports content makers and federations, including LaLiga, Copa90, Aurora Media, Sky, IMG, SailGP, BT Sport, Eurosport, DAZN and the FA.
BT Sport chief operating office Jamie Hindhaugh, said: “The inaugural Broadcast Sport Tech Innovation Forum, hosted at BT Sport studios last year, was a fantastic showcase of the latest thinking in our industry. We look forward to welcoming you again for the 2019 event.”
The event is already at capacity - we can seat a maximum of 250 - but we’ve created a waiting list in case any spaces become free. To join the waiting list, please contact Rich Hewes.
