SPORTEL DNA: SPORTS MEDIA RIGHTS & NEW BROADCAST STRATEGIES
SESSION 1 – SPORTEL Masters State of the Industry
11 March 2021 - 14:00 - 15:00 CET

How are strategies adapting to both the unforeseen on-going pandemic, alongside the foreseen but seismic growth in online content and fragmented markets. Has the bubble burst?
Influential sports content owners, buyers, sellers and partners will share their expert insight on navigating and negotiating rights deals during the on going disruptive climate and the keys to success.
Speakers:

SESSION 2 – Digital Sports Media: Transforming the Broadcast Industry
11 March 2021 15:00 - 16:00 CET
New Streaming and Broadcast Strategies
Current trends and future strategies for broadcast have accelerated two-fold due to the impact of COVID and new tech dominating the scene. Though cable is insisting it will never go away, traditional consummation of sports is changing exponentially with content owners selling their rights to broadcasters, while growing revenue by connecting directly to a new generation of tech savvy audiences through subscription based streaming platforms offering personalised, added value content.
Where will this strategy lead and how does this model work? Will consumers ultimately be able to and indeed ready to pay for multi-packages to follow their favorite sports?
Speakers:
Will Godsiff, Senior Digital Strategist, SUNSET+VINE
Anna Lockwood, Head of Global Sales, TELSTRA BROADCAST SERVICES
Pedro Presa, Group Chief Direct to Consumer Officer, ELEVEN
David Jones, SPORTEL (Moderator)
