Story Highlights
Esports is all the rage in today's sports-media world, but how does one produce a thrilling live esports show? What technology goes into it? How do you tell a linear story? How do you showcase these emerging athletes while describing the games they play?
If you work in traditional college sports or for an emerging esports league or team at the collegiate level, you can receive answers to all these questions and much more at the 11th-annual SVG College Summit (May 29-31, Omni Hotel at CNN Center, Atlanta).
This year's SVG College Summit will showcase a special segment, SVG College Esports Production U, dedicated to educating college sports-video-content creators on the opportunities in live esports production.
On Friday, May 31, attendees will have a unique chance to learn from seasoned esports producers from ELEAGUE, Riot Games, and Ball State Sports Link, who will discuss the strategies that go into broadcasting esports like Counter Strike: Global Offensive, League of Legends, and Rocket League.
From the operational requirements to the creative storytelling techniques behind some of the biggest esports, attendees will be offered a concentrated look at how some of the top esports brands put together their live-streaming productions and will receive advice on how to enhance productions or build an operation from the ground up.
Attendance at the SVG College Summit is free to all who work for a university, conference office, or broadcast entity. Simply apply at www.svgcollege.com for your free pass to the show!
Here's a look at the exciting agenda:
Friday, May 31

Platform Perspective: Twitch and the Growth of Collegiate Esports
Across the country, universities big and small are racing to be at the forefront in the rapid growth of esports by establishing programs of their own.

Kick off a morning of esports learning with a look at collegiate esports and the unique future opportunities for college production professionals.

Learn how the broadcasting veterans map out their production plans for CS:GO and get tips on how to get your production off the ground.
