Main stage session – Sports Production: Sports took a major hit at the beginning of the pandemic, but media companies responded quickly – monetizing archives, moving to remote production models when events began to return and pushing data, graphics and audio to the next level to increase audience engagement. This is the sector that has seen perhaps the most innovation over the last year and in this session, experts will examine how sports production continues to be disrupted and the technologies and techniques that are powering it today.

Sports Content Chains: The Upstream View: In this fireside chat, we will talk to a sports content owner about technology virtualization, streamlining B2B content pipelines and the importance of data in the sports industry.

Sports Content Chains: The Downstream View: In this fireside chat, we will talk to a sports broadcaster the move to remote production workflows, the impact of direct-to-consumer on sports technology sourcing and the implications of these trends for media technology providers.

Sports Content Chains: The Arena – Case study with Levira and The FIA World Rally Championship (WRC): In the final part of this session, we will delve into a recent case study focused on safely enabling the production of the 2020 FIA World Rally Championship (WRC). Speakers include Martti Kinkar, Head of Innovation and Development, Levira, and Tarmo Hõbe, entrepreneur, one of the main organizers and Commercial Director, Rally Estonia.

Then, at noon EST:
