SVG College Summit 2026
College athletic departments are being asked to do more with video than ever before — from live streaming broadcasts and in-venue videoboard shows to creative storytelling and student-driven productions. The 18th annual SVG College Summit was designed specifically to support the people doing that work every day, at programs of every size and resource level.
This event brings the college sports video production community together for two days of learning, real-world case studies, and peer-driven conversations focused on the realities of college sports video. Whether you’re supporting a major operation or building a growing program at a smaller institution, the SVG College Summit delivers practical insight you can put to work immediately.
Across presentations, panels, and technology showcases, attendees heard from athletic-department video leaders, broadcasters, and technology partners exploring live production, videoboard shows, staffing and student workforces, and emerging tools such as AI and automation. From budget-conscious solutions to next-generation workflows (like AI and automation), the SVG College Summit offered fresh ideas and meaningful connections to help your program – and your career – level up.
