“Innovation Games” as highlights of the first day
One of the special features of SportsInnovation 2022 will be the “Innovation Games”. During three football matches on the pitch of the MERKUR SPIEL-ARENA, trade fair visitors will be presented live with the latest technologies within the thematic areas of “Broadcast & Content”, “Sports Performance & Technology” and “Fan Experience & Stadium”.
Presentations by renowned speakers characterise the second day
The Experience Day on Wednesday will be followed by the Vision Day on Thursday. Speakers from international sports leagues, clubs, business and science will give insights into the latest developments and trends in the three major subject areas that are also the focus of the “Innovation Games” in their presentations on the Arena stage.
In the “Sports Performance & Technology” block, for example, there will be a presentation on sports in the metaverse. The thematic area “Fan Experience & Stadium” is about the latest innovations around and in sports stadiums, among other things. The “Broadcast & Content” complex will provide insights into the future of live productions or how sports fans can be even more intensively involved in the active events.
SportsInnovation 2022 – the future of sports business starts now.
From the latest possibilities of tactical game analyses to the creation of an innovative ecosystem for the fan experience of tomorrow. Experts will explain the technologies as they are applied and used live during the “Innovation Games”.
