10:30 am - 11:15 amWomen’s Sports 2025 Update: Moving Production ForwardJoin us for a great and lively panel discussion concerning the rising tide that is making the production of women’s sports more akin to men’s sports. No longer an afterthought, women’s sports productions are embracing the same production tools, ensuring that the productions look every bit as high quality as the coverage of men’s sports - Mon 14 Dec, 2026
11:15 am - 12:00 pmThe Business of Women’s Sports: Challenges and Opportunities2027 once again offers women’s sports a premier showcase for women’s sports: the 2027 FIFA World Cup which will be held in Brazil next summer. That event, and many others, are offering new opportunities to grow the fandom and business of women’s sports and leading experts will take to the stage to discuss future growth in women’s sports

10:05 am - 10:45 amAdventures in ST-2110: Lessons From the FieldST 2110 is well past proof of concept — it's the backbone of trucks, venues, and broadcast centers across the globe. But with the standard's firepower and flexibility also comes a new level of complexity. ST 2110 veterans share what their deployment actually look like — including PTP timing, network design, NMOS, and control layer interoperability — and how troubleshooting changes, what skills teams have to build, and what they'd do differently. - Mon 14 Dec, 2026
10:45 am - 11:30 amMaking the Dynamic Media Facility a RealityPanelists:
Andy Rayner, Appear, CTO
Francesco Scartozzi, Matrox Video, VP, Sales & Business DevelopmentThe Dynamic Media Facility promises to replace fixed, single-purpose hardware with software-defined media functions running on-prem, in the cloud, or both — but turning that vision into daily operational reality raises hard questions. This session will focus on cross-vendor interoperability, integration with existing SMPTE ST 2110 infrastructure, orchestration and resource allocation, and the practical roadmap for moving from concept to deployment. - Mon 14 Dec, 2026
11:45 am - 12:30 pmUnderstanding the Media eXchange LayerThe Media eXchange Layer (MXL) is emerging as the connective tissue of software-defined broadcast facilities — an open-source standard, developed by the EBU, Linux Foundation, and NABA, for moving video, audio, and timed data between media functions running in virtualized environments. Learn how MXL complements SMPTE ST 2110, what interoperability looks like in practice, current adoption challenges, and where the specification is headed next

10:05 am - 10:45 amThe Live State of Play: AI Tools for Live Game, Studio, and Highlights ProductionA tour of the AI tools in live production today — from fully-automated systems for live game coverage to automated highlight clipping and re-framing to the synthetic commentary and real-time localization enabling alt-casts and lower-tier rights. Panelists address what still demands human oversight and where the quality floor sits for a paying audience. - Mon 14 Dec, 2026
10:45 am - 11:30 amSVG AI Innovation Lab Showcase: Part 1SVG AI Innovation Lab Technology Advisors take the stage to provide a deep dive into their platforms and how these tools can supercharge your production operations. - Mon 14 Dec, 2026
11:45 am - 12:30 pmThe Non-Live State of Play: AI Tools for Archiving, Content Creation, and PostproductionIn part two of our State of Play, tour the AI tools reshaping archive, content operations, and postproduction— automated metadata and search that make decades of footage findable, AI-assisted editing and versioning for social and long-form, and the localization and packaging workflows feeding a growing number of platforms. Panelists address where these tools are already saving hours and how organizations are getting their libraries ready.

10:05 am - 10:45 amA Blueprint for the Cloud: Building a Live-Production Ecosystem That ScalesMoving production out of the physical control room requires a series of architectural choices, not a single decision. Leagues, broadcasters, and technology providers break down the big picture from contribution and transport to orchestration and distributed resources, control and comms for crews in multiple locations, and redundancy when there's no truck outside to fall back on — plus where on-prem infrastructure still earns its keep. - Mon 14 Dec, 2026
10:45 am - 11:30 amBeyond the Live Broadcast: Archive, MAM, and Postproduction in the CloudThe game may end, but the content workflow doesn't. Mediamanagement leaders examine how cloud-based asset management and remote postproduction are reshaping what happens after the final whistle: ingest and metadata strategies that make archives searchable, storage tiering that balances access against cost, distributed editing and finishing, and the monetization opportunities buried in libraries that were never designed to be mined. - Mon 14 Dec, 2026
11:45 am - 12:30 pmHybrid Is the Answer — But What Kind of Hybrid?In the world of sports-production, almost nobody is all-cloud, and almost nobody is all-on-prem. But where, exactly, is the sweet spot? Hear how leagues and broadcasters are dividing the workload: which functions stay in the truck or the central hub, which move to the cloud, where public vs. private cloud factors in, and how orchestration layers tie it all together without creating two separate operations to maintain.
