What does it take to produce a world-class in-arena show on one of the biggest stages in sports? In this in-depth case study, Mike Bonner, PMY Group, took attendees inside the videoboard production for the Men’s and Women’s Ice Hockey Tournaments at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. From building a cohesive show with a newly assembled team to navigating long hours, sponsor integrations, and operators new to the sport, this session explored the realities behind delivering a high-impact fan experience under pressure. Along the way, Bonner connected those lessons back to the college environment—offering practical insights into staffing, show flow, team culture, and creative execution that programs of any size can apply to elevate their own in-venue productions.
