The first speakers have been revealed for Football Summit 2025, taking place at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester on Thursday 20 March and sponsored by EVS.

Dominik Scholler, DFL, VP of product management & innovation, and Tim Achberger, Sportcast, director of technology & product management, will take part in ‘The Bundesliga in 360: Bringing fans closer to the action’, a look at how and why the DFL produced coverage of both the 2023 and the 2024 German Supercup finals as live streams for mixed reality glasses and headsets.

Gavin Johnson, City Football Group, media director; John De Caux, Manchester City, head of first team content; and Kimberley Walker-Jones, Manchester City, studio manager, will take part in ‘This City is Ours: The continuing evolution of City Studios’, providing a unique insight into the production and distribution of the club’s long-form, social media, and live content across both men’s and women’s teams.

The day will also feature a dedicated strand of Production Workshops covering Match Directing, Cost-Effective Production, and Sustainable Production.

The Football Summit dovetails with A City United, an SVG Europe Women event that takes place on the afternoon of Wednesday 19 March at the Hot House in MediaCity, Salford, in association with Dock10. Please note, you will need to register separately for this event.
