At the 2025 SVG TranSPORT conference in New York City, Adam Whitlock, Senior Director, Remote Traffic Operations, ESPN, and Chair of the SVG TranSPORT Committee, spoke with SVG’s Jason Dachman to reflect on the event’s impact and evolution.

Whitlock discusses how the forum has helped bring new technologies—like JPEG XS—from concept to widespread industry adoption and shares what’s next for ESPN’s transmission operations as the company gears up for a monumental milestone: its first Super Bowl.
