The Sports Venue Production Summit, sponsored by the Sports Video Group, will be held March 13 and 14 in Minneapolis and will take place at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis which is home to the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings. For the second consecutive year, SVG will host the Sports Venue Production Summit over two days, with a stadium tour and opening night reception on Monday, March 13 and a full day of panel discussions on Tuesday, March 14.
The Sports Video Group, based in New York City, was formed in 2006 to support the professional community that relies on video, audio, and broadband technologies to produce and distribute sports content. Leagues, owners, teams, players, broadcasters, webcasters, and consumer technology providers have joined the SVG to learn from each other, turn vision into reality, implement new innovations, while sharing experiences that will lead to advancements in the sports production/distribution process and the overall consumer sports experience.
In addition, the Sports Video Group was founded to provide a knowledge resource for the growing community of sports video professionals working for broadcast/broadband organizations, professional teams and leagues, collegiate and secondary schools, and facilities as well as to facilitate a dialogue with manufacturers, suppliers and technology developers that will improve the quality and profitability of sports programming.
The opening day events will include a tour of the stadium and networking opportunities as well as an evening reception. The second day will feature programs, speakers and seminars on everything from technology and production to how to engage a local, regional or national fan base. There will be a total of 25 speakers from all aspects of sports video and broadcast production as well as informative seminars on various topics.
One talk will discuss the new ways of using video to energize a particular fan base. As the in-venue video experience evolves to include larger-than-life displays, concourse TVs, mobile apps, and more, the role of game-day producer is changing. How are local production departments answering the call for more content on more screens? Producers weigh in on what steps they’ve taken to develop, distribute, and promote their team’s unique video strategy across a variety of platforms.
Another will focus on the proper capture technology for any situation. A broadcast-quality video presentation needs broadcast-quality tools, and sports venues are increasingly turning to network-caliber cameras, lenses, and replay servers to create their shows. The attendees will learn about the latest in capture technology for in-venue video needs, how venues and broadcasters can work together and share resources between the control room and truck, as well as the potential impact of HDR.
Other seminars include getting the most out of your control room, how to integrate social media to effectively reach and maximize your fan engagement with a production and all of the latest know-how regarding in-venue video distribution.
