Darach Deehan, Chief Executive of Servecast, said: "In only its second year, our Summit has established itself as the highest-profile and most influential fixtures on the sportscasting calendar.

"We are tremendously excited about our new relationship with Goal.com and the extension of our relationship with Glasgow Celtic reaffirms and further develops our position as the market leader in this sector.

"To look around our event yesterday and see so many of Europe's leading football clubs, governing bodies and other sports organisations in attendance is a marvellous tribute to the ambitious development programme undertaken by Servecast.

"Many extremely thought-provoking themes and subjects were debated passionately and comprehensively yesterday and this excellent feedback gives us all at Servecast great scope to further refine and improve our business services.

"Little could we realise when we first started planning our first event in Dublin a little over a year ago that it would grow in stature so rapidly to adopt such importance and influence as yesterday's Summit at the Emirates Stadium."

Sports as diverse as football, horse racing, sailing, basketball, cricket and ice hockey were all represented at the event.

The FA Premier League and the Bundesliga were among the leading European football leagues represented, along with the International Sailing Federation, International Horse Racing and EuroLeague Basketball.

The Servecast New Media conference addressed the critical issues facing sports clubs, organisations and broadcasters with respect to their new media strategies. The conference centred on the new media landscape for sport and TV, online video search engine strategies, the emerging role of mobile video and the opportunities of integrating online gambling.

The objective of the conference was to bring together the most experienced and successful practitioners in New Media Sportscasting to share their experiences in growing successful broadband video services including the most effective promotion strategies, recruiting & retaining subscribers, the implications for rights negotiations and how to use video search engines to complement online TV services.

Unlike any other conference, the Servecast New Media Sportscasting Summit attracted the most experienced and successful practitioners in broadband video and mobile video services.
