BROADCAST ACADEMY SESSIONS AT THE IBC 2019
The Broadcast Academy is excited to announce its presence at the upcoming International Broadcast Convention (IBC) 2019 in Amsterdam.
The Academy is the proud partner of IBC, and together they promote training and build expertise of the broadcasting professionals around the world.
Broadcast Academy in partnership with EVS is pleased to invite you to the Broadcast Academy sessions from 15-16 September 2019 in IBC Amsterdam, Netherlands. There will be a series of stimulating panel sessions and Live sports direction training with the live TV simulator:
Day 1: 15 September 2019 – Three Panel Sessions
10:30-12:00: Remote Production in Live Sports
This session would capture the stimulating discussion around remote production — its impact on live production, accessing the cloud infrastructure, the possibility of richer content creation, and challenges in implementing it in every production.
The panel will be moderated by Dieter Backx from EVS, and consist of Adde Granberg, CTO of Swedish Television (SVT), responsible for managing the Remote TV Production for the London 2012 Summer Olympic Games and the Brazil 2014 FIFA World CupTM; Nadeem Ahmed, Director at Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) Technology & Innovation; Nicolas Deal, CTO of Orange Sports and Media, who designed the broadcast network for worldwide events like FIFA World CupTM, Olympic Games, and UEFA; and Stefan Wistuba, the Director of Production at HBS.
14:00-15:30: Digital Transformation and Social Media in Sports Production
Social media has brought significant changes in how sports broadcasting has been traditionally perceived. Whether we talk about live streaming, amplifying fan engagement, or finding ways to monetise ‘free to air content’, this is a potential topic of discussion and debate amongst the broadcasters.
Ryan Jespersen from Dazzl will serve as the moderator for the panel, which will include Melissa Lawton, who is redefining the live sports viewing experience at Facebook, and Mark Parkman, General Manager of Olympic Channel and an Emmy winner for Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Winter Games.
16:00-17:30: Creating Memorable Sports Moments on TV: Preparation or Luck?
Whether this is the moment when Uruguay’s Luis Suarez bit Giorgio Chiellini in the Brazil 2014 FIFA World CupTM or when the Spaniard Andries Iniesta scoring the goal in the dying minutes to win his country’s maiden title, this session will give you a chance to hear how these moments were created for television by the people who made the key match coverage choices live during the game.
Ken Kerschbaumer, from SVG, will moderate the panel. Joining the panel, Oscar Sanchez, the Director of Broadcast Operations/Executive Producer at CONCACAF; John Watts, Broadcast Academy Expert and the Director associated with every FIFA World CupTM since 2002; and Henk van Meerkerk, Head of Production at Fox Sports.
