Where the People and Technology That Power College Athletics Meet
Register

College athletic departments are being asked to do more with video than ever before — from live streaming broadcasts and in-venue videoboard shows to creative storytelling and student-driven productions. The 18th annual SVG College Summit (May 27–28, Atlanta) is designed specifically to support the people doing that work every day, at programs of every size and resource level.

This free-to-attend event brings the college sports video production community together for two days of learning, real-world case studies, and peer-driven conversations focused on the realities of college sports video. Whether you’re supporting a major operation or building a growing program at a smaller institution, the SVG College Summit delivers practical insight you can put to work immediately.

Across presentations, panels, and technology showcases, attendees will hear from athletic-department video leaders, broadcasters, and technology partners exploring live production, videoboard shows, staffing and student workforces, and emerging tools such as AI and automation. From budget-conscious solutions to next-generation workflows (like AI and automation), the SVG College Summit offers fresh ideas and meaningful connections to help your program – and your career – level up.

At many athletic departments, live broadcast, in-venue production, digital and creative content, and marketing still operate in separate silos—often leading to fragmented workflows, duplicated effort, and underutilized facilities. In this full-audience panel, leaders from large, mid-major, and smaller programs will share practical strategies for streamlining campus production operations, aligning teams around shared resources and control rooms, and building more efficient end-to-end workflows. The discussion will also explore how a more connected production model can open the door to new revenue opportunities and help maximize the value of campus facilities and production investments at any size school.

As athletic departments look to support live broadcasts and in-venue shows from the same facilities, many are rethinking how their control rooms are designed and operated. In this panel, leaders from large, mid-major, and smaller athletic programs—alongside technology partners—will share practical insight into building and operating shared, multi-purpose production hubs that balance staffing, scheduling, automation, and hybrid on-prem and cloud workflows. The discussion will also examine how these shared environments can support third-party productions and new revenue opportunities, helping departments maximize both their facilities and technology investments.
