A Champions League line-up of leading European football clubs and federations will assemble for the Servecast New Media Sportscasting Summit.
No fewer than seven clubs from the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League will be represented at the one-day event at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal FC, on Thursday March 1 2007.
All four of England's representatives - Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal - will be in attendance along with defending champions Barcelona, Internazionale and Scottish title-holders Glasgow Celtic.
Also in the football line-up in attendance are Belgian club Anderlecht; FC St Pauli from Gernany; Manchester City, Tottenham, Everton, Watford, Leicester City (England); and Glasgow Rangers and Hearts (Scotland).
The FA Premier League and the Bundesliga are among the leading European football leagues being represented, along with the International Sailing Federation, International Horse Racing and EuroLeague Basketball.
Darach Deehan, Chief Executive of Servecast, said: "We are delighted to have such strong representation from Europe's leading football clubs and federations.
"Our summit comes in between the current knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League and we are sure that clubs will be able to put aside their competitive spirit to share their experiences and learn how they can develop new media solutions to their mutual and collective advantage."
The Servecast New Media conference will address the critical issues facing sports clubs, organisations and broadcasters with respect to their new media strategies. The conference is 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 this Servecast conference is 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 attracts the most experienced and successful practitioners in broadband video and mobile video services.
By hosting their annual Summit, Servecast aims to ensure the success of existing & future clients through leveraging knowledge of best business practice for new media sportscasting and facilitating business relationships in the forum of the Summit.
