Story Highlights
Day One of SVG’s newly expanded SVG Summit, which takes place Dec. 16-17 at the New York Hilton Hotel, will feature a series of workshop sessions, including a headlining Main Production session.
The main track in the Trianon Ballroom will be focused squarely on the core sports production community that is responsible for creating the live event coverage of the world’s most watched sporting events and leagues that is seen daily via broadcast, broadband, and cellular services.
Highlights include:
Facility Focus: ESPN’s Digital Center 2
ESPN’s EVP and CTO Chuck Pagano gives an insiders look at the network’s new Digital Center, a massive production facility that will not only be the future home for SportsCenter but a number of other programs as well. More importantly, the technical infrastructure is a perfect example of the future of all digital facilities, offering maximum flexibility for the future.

The remote production community continues to get through difficult economic times and even continues to innovate as it embraces IP and file-based workflows and backbones. How are new workflows impacting the way remote production facilities are designed and operated?
