The Mobile Fan Experience: Keeping Fans Connected in the Stands
From watching live and on-demand video to ordering concessions directly to their seats, fans can access more from their mobile devices than ever before. What do fans expect when they come to a game, and how are venues, WiFi and DAS providers, and app developers answering the call?
Moderator: Karen Hogan, SVG, Senior Editor

Mark Chmura, Crown Castle, Small Cell/DAS Project Manager
Priya Narasimhan, YinzCam, CEO/Founder
Robert Gekchyan, Deluxe Media, Senior Executive Director, Technology.
James Stellpflug, EVS Broadcast Equipment, VP, Product Marketing
1:45 - 2:15 p.m.
IPTV and Digital Signage Update
IPTV and digital signage systems continue to establish their place in venues, providing an additional outlet for fan engagement and sponsor revenue. What are the design, operational, and technological considerations for building an IPTV system? And how can you get the most out of your IPTV and digital signage?
Moderator: Rick Price, MOEBAM! Venue Media Services, President
Speakers:
Jay Mathias, Cisco Systems, Sports & Entertainment Solution Group, Consulting System Engineer
Joe Walsh, VITEC, National Sales Manager, Sports & Entertainment Venues

Light It Up: How LED Lighting Is Changing the Way We See the Game
The past few years has seen several sports venues shift from traditional metal halide lights to LED lighting, in part to eliminate flicker during slow-motion broadcast replays. What are the benefits, and challenges, of going all-in on LED?
Moderator: Steve Hellmuth, NBA, EVP, Operations and Technology
Speakers:
Robert Bloom, RBB Digital, Designer and Photographer
Dan O'Neill, NHL, VP, Arena and Event Operations
Ed Ragain, M-E Engineers, President
George Reiher, M-E Engineers, Principal
Scott Rinehart, Fighting Irish Digital Media, Lead Technologist
2:45 - 3:30 p.m.
Enhancing Interoperability Between the Venue and Broadcasters
As venues increasingly invest in their own in-game cameras and broadcasters expand their complements, the need for better interoperability between venues and the broadcasters is greater than ever. How can venues work with broadcasters to more efficiently share resources between the control room and the truck?
Moderator: Robert Jordan CFE, Van Wagner Sports and Entertainment, SVP
Speakers:
Dave Barry, NBA, Senior Manager, Technical Operations Center
Chris Brown, Turner Sports, Director, Technical Operations, NBA TV and NBA Digital
Chris Williams, WJHW, VP
After the 2:45 p.m. panel, attendees are encouraged to attend the final panel discussion of the Asset Management Workshop in Gramercy East (second floor):
