About the

Future of Sports Broadcasting Summit

Sports events ground to a halt in 2020 with the onset of COVID-19 and for a couple of months, everyone in the business was compelled to sit at home. But it also created the opportunity for many suppliers, vendors, producers, broadcasters and others within the sports chain to think out of the box, reinvent themselves and adapt to the new normal. In addition, the rapid uptake of OTT also compelled content owners to rethink their rights and we are certain sports rights will be designed differently in the future.

There are several questions about whether clubs will want to take the direct-to-consumer approach or still go through broadcasters and other service providers.


2021

Webinar

The Future of Sports Broadcasting Summit will be streamed live as a webinar, spread over the course of two days, commencing on 23 – 24 March, 2021. The virtual event will bring together the industry’s leading minds to engage in deep discussions and share thought-provoking presentations, all of which you will be able to follow from the comfort and safety of your own home or office.


Insightful

Conversations

The Future of Sports Broadcasting Summit will aim to discuss some of the challenges the industry has faced in recent times and how some of the players moved from the field to the screen with some events. The virtual conference will give attendees an opportunity to hear from regional and international players on the different strategies they adopted to keep ahead of the game.
