How is Australia addressing the pressure issue of attracting behind-the-scenes talent?

Finding the next generation of production and operations talent is not a major challenge facing production folks just in the U.S. It’s an issue for the industry globally.

Sports networks, production companies, leagues, and teams find themselves with a lot of competition when it comes to attracting young talent. In this panel discussion, learn how the Australian live–sports-production industry strives to identify great talent and, more important, to train them and help them see that a career in sports production is possible.

  • Kahleah Webb, Gravity Media, Head of Operations
  • Celine Wienand, NEP Australia, Broadcast Engineer
