ISE 2018 Sports Venue and Fan Engagement Summit joined by Media Links

The Sports Venue and Fan Engagement Summit held at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) on 8 February 2018 at the RAI, Amsterdam, is being joined by Media Links. Presented by Sports Video Group (SVG) Europe and PanStadia & Arena Management Magazine, trends, technologies and techniques defining the sports stadium of today and tomorrow will be the theme of discussion throughout the day.

David Davies, SVG Europe commented: “For the last five years SVG Europe has staged the Sports Venue Technology Summit at ISE, providing a valuable opportunity to find out more about the changing technological composition and applications of the modern sports stadium.  This year, the new Sports Venue and Fan Engagement Summit will expand the focus to consider other areas related to the overall experience of the modern stadium –  in particular the design approaches, operational methods and technologies geared towards enhancing fan engagement.”

John Smith, managing director, Media Links EMEA will join the final panel of the day entitled, Get Yourself Connected: IP Networking and the Stadium of the Future. Smith confirmed: “The network is a key element of designing any contemporary stadium. Networks need to cope with the increasing demands of transporting live and pre-recorded content between, often, multiple venues and the studio ready for transmission across the globe. In this discussion, which promises to offer some lively debate, we will look at identifying design approaches and techniques that can result in a futureproofed stadium created to entertain the demands of today’s and tomorrow’s viewers.”
