Held on 12 November 2026 at Kings Place in London, it brings together the broadcast audio community around live sound capture, immersive audio and the migration to audio over IP. As part of the SVG Europe calendar it gives a specialist discipline its own stage, covering subjects that broader broadcast conferences treat only in passing. ## Remit and origin Audio is the most specialised corner of sports production, with its own engineers, vendors and standards, and SVG Europe created a dedicated event to serve it. The Summit sits within SVG Europe's audio strand, which also includes year-round audio coverage and related forums, and it has become the reference point for the European sports sound community. ## Who attends The room gathers broadcast sound engineers, sound supervisors and audio designers from broadcasters and host broadcasters, alongside the audio manufacturers that serve them, including names such as Calrec, Lawo, Sennheiser, Shure and Solid State Logic. The audience is small but highly qualified, concentrated on the people who actually capture and mix live sport. ## What it covers The agenda addresses immersive and object-based audio, including Atmos-style approaches applied to sport, digital microphone arrays, live mixing techniques, loudness and the shift to audio over IP. These are the topics that rarely get dedicated time at general broadcast events but that materially shape the quality of the live experience. ## Format The Summit is a single day at Kings Place, a venue well suited to audio with its concert-hall heritage. The format combines presentations, panels and demonstrations with focused networking among a tight community of audio specialists. ## Where it sits in the calendar The Sports Audio Summit falls in November, in the autumn run of SVG Europe events, complementing the production, transmission, digital and football gatherings by isolating the audio layer. It is the one European event where the sound side of sports production is the main subject rather than a sub-track. ## Why it matters for the vertical For the vertical, the Sports Audio Summit is a vertical within the vertical: the only European venue dedicated to sports audio, with the immersive and audio-over-IP angles that define current innovation, and a concentrated audience of sound supervisors and audio vendors that is otherwise dispersed. ## The event in numbers *(organiser-declared)* | | | |---|---| | Format | 1-day summit | | Focus | immersive audio, digital arrays, audio over IP | | Organiser | Sports Video Group (SVG Europe) | | Venue | Kings Place, London | | Timing | 12 November 2026 | --- ## FAQ ### When and where is the Sports Audio Summit 2026?
