Held at the Luxe Sunset Blvd Hotel in L.A., the brand new SVG event will cover a variety of live-production-focused topics including award ceremonies, halftime performances, pre/post-game show, red carpet arrivals, and more. In addition to hearing unique perspectives from front-bench and creative leaders, learn about the latest technological developments in live-production workflows, cine-broadcast cameras/lenses, cloud and REMI, XR and virtual production, and much more.

The day will be headlined by a keynote conversation with industry icon Jim Bell. As senior vice president of media for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games, he leads the effort to bring the world's biggest event to life for a global audience. A 24-time Emmy Award winner, Bell has spent his career at the intersection of sports, news, and entertainment-trusted with some of the most iconic brands in media, including NBC Olympics, the FIFA World Cup, The Today Show, and The Tonight Show. He is the only person to have ever run both Today and Tonight, and his credits range from the London and Rio Olympics-respectively the most-watched and most-profitable Games in U.S. TV history-to the creation of the beloved fourth hour of Today with Kathie Lee and Hoda. Known for championing innovation, collaboration, and storytelling that resonates, Bell now brings that same spirit to LA28, helping to reimagine how the Games will be experienced across every screen, platform, and generation.

Stay tuned for more speakers from top sports- and entertainment-production organizations. The inaugural SVG LIVE! program is being spearheaded by conference chair Jeff Jacobs, SVP and Head of Production at NEP Group and 30-year sports-entertainment-production industry veteran with key leadership roles at NBC Sports & Olympics and Viacom's MTV Networks, among others.
