The first speakers for the 2024 Broadcast Sport Summit have been revealed.
The event is returning for a second year after a sellout first edition in 2023. This time round it will be held at the Emirates Stadium on 13 November, and will see sessions covering sport broadcasting, production, podcasts, social content, and more - with extra sessions to be announced in due course.

Younger generations will be among those making use of these technologies, and Footballco head of video Xavi Sanchez; Little Dot Sport managing director Robbie Spargo; and Two Circles lead consultant for content, Imogen Thom; will look at how content can be tailored to attract Gen Z viewers.
Other speakers include former NFL player and now presenter Jason Bell, and Melissa Lawton, chief content officer at SailGP to examine bringing a global audience to your sport; as well as Jo Osborne, head of women’s sport at Sky Sports; Tammy Parlour MBE, CEO of the Women’s Sport Trust; and Sarah Massey, managing director of the Women’s Rugby World Cup England 2025 to discuss the growth of women’s sport and the opportunities it brings.
