State of Affairs: Industry Executives Analyze the Current Condition of the Market As the digital landscape constantly changes, and new workflows make an impact on the sports-video-production community, media entities are put into a precarious situation in regard to making the right investment. In this unique roundtable discussion, key leaders shared how the proliferation of live streaming, the dominance of mobile, and the desire of fans to get more from their sports is providing our industry with a wealth of opportunity.
A New Age for Thursday Night Football: A Morning Keynote with Amazon Prime Video Over the past few years, Prime Video has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in live sports, both in the United States and globally. With the second season of Thursday Night Football under its belt - and with a wealth of other live sports properties to deliver - what innovations are the emerging powerhouse delivering to drive deeper engagement in the live game? Prime Video's VP of Live Sports Product and Engineering Eric Orme offered an industry insider's look at TNF, Prime Video Sports, and the present and future of live sports streaming.
Catering to Every Viewer: A Conversation on Data, Interactivity, and Personalization From real-time data overlays and alternate feeds to the ability to interact with games or chat with friends, the live sports streaming experience is taking engagement in the broadcast to new depths. In this panel discussion, industry leaders share their experiences in enhancing the live game and offer their opinions on what future innovations are worth looking into further.
Automated Social: Leaning on AI and Machine Learning to Handle the Deluge of Content Fans appetites for sports content - live, highlights, or otherwise - is insatiable. Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and other tools are fueling a more sophisticated era of automation in live content. Execs from the USGA, AWS, and Comcast Technology Solutions dissect how sports content owners are using these workflows to generate more content than ever and what the future looks like.
Entertaining the In-Venue Fan: Powering Live and Real-Time Experiences for the Stadium Competition with the at-home viewing experience is fierce. Simultaneously, though, sports fans are valuing in-person experiences in today's world. Whether its video delivery made possible by 5G, hyper-personalized content offerings for users on mobile, or simply keeping fans updated with everything they'd want to know from around the venue or around the league: how are technologies bringing a new layer of excitement to attending a live sports event? In-venue professionals from the New York Islanders and The Famous Group were joined by experts from Red5 and Verizon to answer this important question.

In a special case study, HBS's Executive Producer of Digital Tim Stott breaks down their distribution strategy and how influencer partnerships have played a role in their success.
What's Next for the Worldwide Leader: An Afternoon Keynote With ESPN ESPN is at the forefront of building and delivering new and exciting ways for fans to consume their favorite sports live.
