SVG Europe's half-day forum on the transmission layer of live sport: how the signal moves from the stadium to the screen.
The TranSPORT Forum is the SVG Europe event dedicated to the transmission of live sport, the part of the chain that carries the signal from the venue to the screen. Held as a half-day forum in London on 8 July 2026, it brings together the engineers and suppliers who work on contribution, distribution and remote connectivity. It is part of the year-round SVG Europe calendar, a series of single-topic gatherings for the European sports production community, and it isolates a subject most business conferences skip entirely: the practical mechanics of moving sport reliably and affordably.
SVG Europe runs a calendar of focused, single-topic events alongside its flagship Summit, and the TranSPORT Forum is its transmission-specific entry. The forum exists because transmission has become a discipline in its own right: the move to IP, the spread of 5G, the growth of remote production and the pressure on cost have turned signal transport into a strategic question rather than a back-office task. SVG Europe convenes the specialists who own that question.
The room is deliberately specialist: broadcast and transmission engineers, the connectivity and satellite providers who carry sports feeds, remote production technologists, and the suppliers of contribution and distribution technology. As with all SVG Europe events, the audience skews senior on the technical side, the people who design how content moves rather than how it is sold.
The agenda concentrates on the transport layer: 5G workflows, IP contribution and distribution, cloud-based delivery, compression standards and the connectivity that underpins remote production. These are the unglamorous but decisive questions that determine whether a live production reaches air reliably and within budget, and they rarely get dedicated stage time elsewhere.
The TranSPORT Forum is a half-day event, deliberately compact so that senior engineers can attend without committing a full day. The short format concentrates the agenda on a single theme and on focused networking among a specialist community, which is part of its appeal.
The forum falls in early July, in the quieter summer part of the calendar, and complements the other SVG Europe events that address production, audio, digital and football. Where those cover what is made and how it is consumed, the TranSPORT Forum covers how it travels.
For a sport technology vertical with an interest in infrastructure and the edge, the TranSPORT Forum is a niche but high-value target. It gathers the transmission leads of broadcasters and the connectivity and 5G providers that serve them, a population that is otherwise hard to reach in one room, and it is the natural complement to the production-focused SVG events.
