SVG is proud to announce the first of its regional European events for 2012, Sport Tech UK: Summer of Sport, which will take place on the afternoon of Thursday 29 March 2012 at the historic Lord’s Cricket Ground in London – not only the Home of Cricket but also this year an Olympic venue.

With the UK welcoming the Olympic and Paralympic Games this summer, the Sport Tech UK: Summer of Sport event will gather together industry leaders from key broadcasters, facilities companies and sports properties to discuss topics of importance to the UK sports production industry. Thought-provoking panel discussions, insightful keynote addresses and extensive networking breaks will be followed by an evening cocktail party at the famous venue.

‘The State of UK Sports Production’ panel will examine the issues facing the sports broadcasting community in the UK and what the industry can do about them. Meanwhile, the UK has long had one of the most modern Outside Broadcast fleets in the world, but with this accolade comes financial pressures that will be discussed in an ‘Outside Broadcast Perspectives’ panel. The UK not opens it doors to the Olympic and Paralympic Games this summer, but Grand Slam tennis will return to Wimbledon and the British Open in golf will keep the UK broadcast community busy at Royal Lytham & St Annes. Delegates will be able to hear from the parties involved in these major events on the ‘Producing The Iconic Events of the Summer of 2012’ panel. The final panel, ‘Producing a Digital Olympics’ will look at how all the channels and screens available will be used to maximise coverage and engage with fans.
