Specific sessions will include a panel of audio integrators discussing the impact of recent regulatory changes and increased visitor expectations on projects including Twickenham Stadium, London and the London 2012 venues, and an examination by Hemming himself of the primary stages involved in the development of such landmark sports venues as Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi and Lord’s Cricket Ground in London.

“The real purpose of this summit is for all the different groups of people involved in a stadium to have a better understanding of what each other does,” says Hemming. “What steps can be taken to make the process smoother? What happens when the broadcaster turns up with its OB truck… do they have a clear appreciation of what went on to make the venue broadcast-ready? This summit will provide some valuable answers.”

There will also be an in-depth examination of the increased convergence between AV and IT infrastructures, as well as a closing keynote about the future of the sports stadium from Dimitri Huygen (ESSMA).

The summit is free to attend!
