Islanders' Ryan Halkett, Verizon Business Group's Lee Field dive into the tech

The New York Islanders return home Friday night for Game 6 of their First Round Stanley Cup Playoff series with the Carolina Hurricanes, looking to stave off elimination again. Down 3-2 in the series, the Islanders hope the friendly confines of UBS Arena can help them force a decisive Game 7 on Sunday down in Raleigh.

Up in the stands, Islanders fans will continue to enjoy one of the freshest, more cutting edge in-venue experiences in the country. As the Official 5G and Technology Partner at UBS Arena, Verizon works closely with both UBS Arena and the New York Islanders to ideate, build, and deploy next- generation solutions for content production, content distribution, and fan experiences.

In this case study from the 2023 SVG Venue Summit, New York Islanders’ SVP, Event Presentation and Content Experiences Ryan Halkett is joined by Verizon Business Group’s Managing Director – Global Solutions Lee Field to share how the Isles are leveraging technology to enhance fan engagement.
