10:05 - 10:40 a.m. Inside Little Caesars Arena With Detroit Red Wings
Little Caesars Arena opened in 2017, and quickly became a hit with Red Wings and Pistons fans. Featuring the world's largest seamless centerhung videoboard, the arena not only has plenty of video real estate but a top-notch team to entertain fans on every display in the building. Hear how that team crafted their game-day video presentation and the tools they use to make it possible.
10:40 - 11:20 a.m. In-Venue Video: Engaging Fans in the Stands
While the Little Caesars centerhung is certainly stunning, Detroit's newest venue isn't the only one in Southern Michigan with a videoboard - and video-production team - to boast about. Local teams take the stage to discuss their video-production tips and tech, and how they leverage video to engage with their fans game after game.

Former buzzwords like 4K UHD and HDR have evolved into realistic options for in-venue production, and commercial 5G services are on the horizon. What would these technologies mean for your team? Leaders in these emerging technologies take the stage to share their experience, answer your most pressing questions, and discuss how they might enhance the fan experience.
1:45 - 2:15 p.m. What's Next in Tech: The Systems Integrator Perspective
As video-control rooms expand in both size and scope, so too must the role of the systems integrator grow and evolve. Leading systems integrators will discuss their latest projects, the technological trends they're seeing in sports venues, and much more in this open discussion.
2:15 - 2:30 p.m. Case Study
2:30 - 2:45 p.m. Networking Break
2:45 - 3:30 p.m. Esports Arenas: Redefining the In-Venue Experience
The SVG Venue Summit concludes with a look at the hottest emerging market in sports: esports. Esports arenas - designed with both the gamer and fan experience in mind - are popping up all over the world. Hear from those on the front lines as they discuss the unique requirements, the video/audio considerations, and the shifting mindsets that go into designing an esports arena.
3:30 - 4:00 p.m. Entertainment Districts: Engaging Fans Beyond the Stands
Little Caesars Arena is the cornerstone of The District Detroit, a 50-block sports and entertainment district that is contributing to the city's comeback with new retail, office, and residential developments.
