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.

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.
