Agenda: Thursday, June 2

Brandon Costa, Sports Video Group, Director, SVG College

Preparing for and executing a live event broadcast is a unique undertaking and one that takes a tremendous amount of planning and foresight. Top producers and directors from across the industry offer their thoughts on preparing your crew, establishing storylines, and how to make it look like you have more camera sources than you actually do. Even with limited technological resources, a professional-caliber production is within your grasp.

Features are a powerful way to share the story of your program. Annie Gottlieb of Pac-12 Networks goes inside a unique piece she put together on Oregon State men’s basketball.

Conferences large and small have found the value in keeping their institutions united under one banner for programming, branding, and operations. However, conference-wide networks require a lot of planning and forethought: Who makes gear decisions? How are programming and production responsibilities assigned? How do individual institutions best contribute to the greater mission while maintaining their own brands?

From valuable historical content to the hundreds of hours of new video being produced each academic year, athletic departments are faced with a tremendous task of getting the most out of its archived video assets. With a viable wide-scale solution yet to hit the market, in what ways can a program better safeguard its most valuable content and quickly utilize it for various purposes, including integration into live event productions and social media?

Whether your in-venue video board is massive or modest, entertaining and informing fans with it is becoming a new art form all of its own. How do some of the best at all levels pump up the crowd, showcase their best content, design captivating graphics, and coordinate all of the sales and marketing elements that need to go into making a complete in-venue scoreboard production?

New social media platforms are completely changing the game of engagement and storytelling. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, SnapChat, and Vine – just to name a few – have content creators thinking less about longer form content and more about designing and distributing video content that is no more than 30, 15, or even 6-seconds long. How can you more effectively use video in your social strategy and what kind of video content works best on each platform?

Join us for this annual event honoring the best in college sports programming, storytelling, operations, and more.
