The Sport Technology Achievement Award reception is open to all sport production professionals and sponsors of SVG Europe or SVG. The sixth-annual reception is the perfect opportunity to network with Europe’s top technology decision-makers in an informal environment. Join us as we celebrate broadcast excellence in sport at Europe’s most important show IBC.

“This year’s reception will be the best yet as we celebrate not only outstanding achievements by those in the sport production industry but also SVG Europe’s IBC debut,” says Ken Kerschbaumer, SVG Editorial Director. “European-based sport production professionals and our sponsors will be able to once again come together for the industry’s premier networking event.”

“SVG has become an invaluable resource in the US, for both members and sponsors alike, and with SVG Europe we look forward to replicating its success across the continent. The Sport Award Reception is a great way of both bringing the European sport production community together and also highlighting some of the fantastic and pioneering work done this side of the Atlantic,” adds Andy Stout, SVG Europe Editorial Director.
