📢 We're excited to announce that Christophe Barbé will be speaking on the panel "4K UHD HDR in ST-2110 for Live Production: We're Getting There!" at SATIS 2024 next week.    He’ll be sharing insights on his experiences and the innovative solutions implemented on some events HBS covers 🔍

Today Johannes Franken, Director of Digital, spoke on the panel Generative AI & Fandom: How can it change the fan / sport relationship? at SPORTEL Monaco 2024.    About the panel, Johannes said, "As a techie at heart, I’m excited by the rapid rise of generative AI, knowing it will transform how we create content and help us grow engagement with fans and untapped audiences. I believe this technology will enable us to empower active and former athletes to become creators and influencers, bringing us closer than ever to the action through authentic, meaningful connections."

Yesterday was #WorldRunDay but at HBS, we celebrate all year-round, with many of our team members participating in regular running events across the globe 🌍    Recently, HBS sponsored several employees in the Paris-Versailles run! 25,000 participants ran 16 kilometres, including Pamela Parassol, Broadcast Sites, Operations and Services Coordinator.    Speaking about her experience, she told us "Participating in the Paris-Versailles run was an incredible experience, and I’m grateful to HBS for their support. Running helps me disconnect, clear my mind and manage stress, and this event, though challenging, was no different. It was amazing to push myself and connect with colleagues outside of work."

As a host broadcaster, we facilitate the distribution of live event content to millions of viewers across the globe 🌍   On our larger-scale events, this can mean us working with hundreds of rights-holding broadcasters to ensure audiences worldwide are able to cheer on their favourite athletes 📣

Esther Mouawad came to France for her studies, and after graduating, she joined us here at HBS in September. She's been behind some of the new designs you've seen here on our LinkedIn page, and we're excited to share more of her work 🎨

Our UK Managing Director, Jamie Aitchison, will be representing HBS at SVG Europe's Future Sport tomorrow, alongside the skroller team! We're excited to discuss all things #SportsBroadcast, including topics like cloud production, AI and the evolving trends in fan engagement 💬
