EVENT AGENDA

10:00 - 10:45 a.m. No Place Like Home: Centralizing Production Through IP

As at-home production models become more commonplace in the sports-production industry, college campuses are perfectly suited to centralized live event production. With IP technologies making that centralization more realistic and cost-efficient than ever, how can you set up your athletic department for campus-wide success?

11:00 - 11:30 a.m. Lifeblood: Working With and Training Your Student Staff

No athletic department video team can meet the demanding scale of live-event and VOD video-content creation without the help of a deep and effective student staff. How do you go about recruiting students? How do you train them? And how do you build a culture where your finest students shine and lead the way?

11:30 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. Highlights 2.0: Leveraging Cinematic Recaps and Sideline Footage

In today's hyper-competitive content world, simply posting highlights or postgame press conferences isn't enough.
