THE countdown to the eagerly-awaited Servecast
New Media Sportscasting Summit enters its final
nine days.
A leading array of international broadcasters,
professional sports clubs, and sports federations
have been assembled for the one-day event at the
Emirates Stadium on Thursday March 1 2007.
No fewer than seven clubs from the last 16 of
the UEFA Champions League will be represented,
with Chelsea, Manchester, Liverpool, Arsenal,
Barcelona, Internazionale and Glasgow Celtic all
in attendance.
Sports as diverse as football, horse racing,
sailing, basketball, cricket and ice hockey will
all be represented at the event.
Darach Deehan, Chief Executive of Servecast,
said: "The diversity of clubs, organisations
and broadcasters represented at our summit demonstrates
the appetite across all sports to investigate
and research new media solutions.
"We are delighted with the calibre and diversity
of the speakers and delegates we have been able
to deliver for our second Servecast Summit.
"The event promises to be a tremendous research
and networking opportunity to bring together clubs,
governing bodies and broadcasters to debate and
provide new media solutions to our mutual advantage."
From football, English Premier League Portsmouth
are among the latest delegates to confirm, along
with Manchester City, Tottenham, Everton, Watford,
Leicester City, Glasgow Rangers, Hearts, Anderlecht,
and St Pauli, while in cricket Surrey CCC will
be in attendance.
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.
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
