Story Highlights

The 2025 SVG Venues & Teams Summit delivered a day packed with innovation, insight, and inspiration - from the cutting-edge confines of the Intuit Dome, the new home of the NBA's Los Angeles Clippers. With its SMPTE ST 2110-based control room, revolutionary double-sided halo board, and immersive fan-focused design, the Dome was an appropriate setting for a deep dive into the technologies shaping the future of live event production and in-venue storytelling that drew more than 250 video-production professionals.

More than 240 in-venue professionals attended the event held on July 23 at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles.

Opening Insights and the Power of the Intuit Dome The day kicked off with Imagine Communications CEO Steve Reynolds, who underscored the industry's evolution toward IP-based infrastructure and immersive venue experiences. In the morning's marquee session, Home at Intuit Dome, the Clippers' production team and BeckTV revealed how they designed one of the most advanced venues in professional sports. From 4K HDR workflows to a scalable ST 2110 backbone, the team detailed the tools deployed.

Venue Spotlights: From the NFL to the NBA Next up, the Los Angeles Chargers took center stage to showcase The Bolt, the team's new content studio in El Segundo. Chargers SVP, Brand Creative and Content, Jason Lavine explained how the space has transformed the content team's ability to deliver polished, fan-centric content across digital and social platforms.

Then attention turned to the Indiana Pacers, whose Associate VP, Broadcast Engineering and Operations, Emily Wright and her engineering team described the reimagining of Gainbridge Fieldhouse around ST 2110, boosting flexibility and the fan experience in real time.

Los Angeles Clippers' Francisco Castillo, Jason Lemiere, and Jared Ponce and BeckTV's Brock Raum highlight the arena's tech innovation.

Content, Creativity, Captivating Crowds in L.A. After a short break, the spotlight returned to Southern California with L.A. Knows How To Party. A dynamic panel of producers from the Lakers, Galaxy, Angel City FC, and Ducks described how they are merging digital storytelling with in-venue spectacle to engage fans every day of the year, not just on game days.

That energy extended into the Lower Bowl Tech session, when experts from Canon, Verizon, Telestream, Disguise, and Tata Communications discussed how advances in cameras, connectivity, and creative tools are redefining lower-bowl and concourse productions.

SVG's Kristian Hern ndez, Los Angeles Lakers' Chris Cunanan, Anaheim Ducks' Scott Fausneaucht, Angel City FC's Meghan Hartley, and LA Galaxy's Barbara Maningat dive deep into gameday productions based in the City of Angels.

Cricket, Control Rooms, and the Olympics International themes were the focus in the afternoon. A look at New York State's Nassau County International Cricket Stadium explored how the pop-up venue wowed fans during the 2024 ICC T20 Men's World Cup. Leaders from consultants WJHW and PMY Group analyzed the engineering feats that built a professional sports venue in just six months.

Next, in the Keynote Conversation on the 2024 Paris Olympics, RWS Global executives emphasized the operational excellence and scale needed to bring fan experiences to life across 54 sports and 37 venues.

In the event's Keynote Conversation, RWS Global's Kim Henshaw and Matthew Byles reflect on the in-stadium experience of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.

Closing Panel: The Future of Control Rooms The sessions concluded with The Future of Control Rooms, an exploration of how venue tech leaders are building for the future with 4K, IP, cloud, and hybrid infrastructures. Experts from Grass Valley, Riedel, Key Code Media, Imagine Communications, and the Pacers discussed what they see coming for video production inside today's - and tomorrow's - venues.

Touring the Dome The event ended with a guided tour of the Intuit Dome, including its state-of-the-art control room and engineering core, and a lively networking reception. As the sun set on a landmark day in Inglewood, it was clear: Intuit Dome isn't just a venue; it's a blueprint for the future of sports entertainment.
