Story Highlights
2019 is a huge year for many in the college sports video production world. Broadcast facilities and live event programming schedules are being built out at rates never before seen in the history of this industry. As a college sports video production professional, its never been more critical for you to remain dialed in to the latest developments in technology, content development, and distribution strategies. Fortunately, some of the sharpest minds from across the college sports world are sharing their experiences and expertise again next month at the 11th-annual SVG College Summit (May 29-31, Omni Hotel at CNN Center, Atlanta).
REGISTER: SVG College Summit, May 29-31, Atlanta
Reminder: those who work at an athletic department, conference office, or broadcast entity receive FREE entry to the SVG College Summit!
Two Division I conferences firmly in the limelight are the Atlantic Coast Conference which launches its highly-anticipated ACC Network this summer in partnership with ESPN and The Ivy League which became the first collegiate conference to go all in with its live content on ESPN's direct-to-consumer streaming platform, ESPN+. Both moves have required massive expansions in facilities and, in some cases, staffing and are a high-end peek at the latest developments in the growth of live video production at the collegiate sports level.
A pair of sessions at the SVG College Summit are dedicated to offering a deep dive into each unique case, how its impacting numerous video teams at athletic departments across the country, and what other schools and conferences can learn from them.
Thursday, May 30 | 9:10 10:00 a.m.
Final Countdown: What ACC Network Schools Learned in Their Facility Buildouts
In August, the highly anticipated ACC Network will launch, with a long and comprehensive buildout of on-campus media-production facilities completed by many of the Atlantic Coast Conference's 15 institutions. Millions were spent on cameras, switchers, replay devices, graphics engines, comms, fiber, and much more. What have these institutions learned during this challenging process, and what advice would they give to others looking to enhance their own internal video-production operations?
Panelists:
Eric Frey, Virginia Tech University, Senior Director, ACC Network Operations
Kelly Hammonds, University of Pittsburgh, Assistant AD for Broadcast and Video Production
Jeremy Noe, University of Louisville, Executive Director, ACC Network Operations
Mike Szlamowicz, University of Virginia, Director of Video Services, Live Events and ACC Network
Moderator:
Scott Hecht, Syracuse Athletics, Senior Producer; SVG College Summit
