SVG has announced the full program for the 2018 RSN Summit, which will be held June 26-27 at the Palmer House Hilton in Chicago. In addition, Jon Slobotkin, SVP, Content and Live Programming, NBC Sports Regional Networks, has been announced as the Chair of SVG's RSN Advisory Committee for this year's Summit. A veteran of the RSN sector for more than 30 years and founding member of the RSN Advisory Committee, Slobotkin is among the most respected names in the industry and will serve as the driving force of the program and vision for the third-annual RSN Summit.
I have had the pleasure of working in the regional sports television business my entire professional life, says Slobotkin. It's been fascinating to see how the content and the business of regional sports networks have evolved over time. The one thing that has remained a constant is the important role the RSNs play in super-serving the passionate, local sports fans. It is my honor to serve as Chair for the RSN Summit and I look forward to an exciting and informative program.
This year's RSN Summit agenda will feature a variety of panels, keynotes, case studies, and technology showcases addressing the most important issues facing the industry today. In addition, this year's event will feature a pair of workshops: RSN Social Media Showcase in the morning and a Technology & Operations Workshop in the afternoon.
