The video content featured in the Sports OTT Forum will look to answer some key questions:
- How can OTT, streaming and social media be used to keep sports viewers, fans and subscribers happy now, during lockdown, in the absence of live sport, and in the future?
- What sports video content is possible and works best, especially when there are no live events to cover? How can data be used effectively?
- How will the sports video industry handle the bottleneck of producing and distributing multiple live events after the virus pandemic has passed?
- What does the immediate and long-term future hold for sports OTT, streaming and social media?
The day will culminate with the SVG Europe Sports TV Awards 2020 which will premiere on the SVG Europe YouTube channel at 5pm.
Sports OTT Forum 2020 online is taking place In lieu of the physical Sports OTT Forum that was due to take place at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London on 27 May 2020.
