## Definition

The Sports Production Innovation Summit is the SVG Europe event dedicated to leading-edge sports production workflows. The 2026 edition took place on 21 May in Barcelona. Sessions run from remote and centralised production to AI-driven workflows and software-defined operations, with a focus on capturing and delivering live content efficiently.

## What it covers

The programme is built around real case studies presented by the teams that run major productions: host broadcasters, rights-holder production units and service providers. Topics include centralisation of resources, remote production, automation and the practical application of AI to live workflows.

## Where it sits

This is the most hands-on event on the SVG Europe circuit, the counterpart to the more strategic September Summit. Held in Barcelona, it sits close to the Iberian broadcast ecosystem of Mediapro and LaLiga.
