The event will see industry leaders from key broadcasters, facilities companies and sports properties gather together to discuss topics of importance to the UK sports production industry on a range of panels.

"The State of UK Sports Production" will examine the issues facing the sports broadcasting community in the UK and what the industry can do about them. Meanwhile, the UK has long had one of the most modern outside broadcast fleets in the world, but with this accolade comes financial pressures, which will be discussed in an "Outside Broadcast Perspectives" panel.

The UK not only welcomes the Olympic and Paralympic Games this summer, but grand slam tennis will return to Wimbledon and the British Open in golf will keep the UK broadcast community busy at Royal Lytham & St Annes. The respective parties involved in these major events will speak on the "Producing the Iconic Events of the Summer of 2012" panel.

The final panel, "Producing a Digital Olympics," will look at how all the channels and screens available will be used to maximise coverage and engage with fans during London 2012. In addition to these panel discussions and two keynote addresses, extensive networking breaks will be followed by an evening cocktail party at London's iconic cricket venue.
