Sport Video Group to hold reception at IBC

The Sport Video Group (SVG), a global organisation dedicated to helping the sports production community advance sports content creation and distribution, has announced that its Advisory Board and Sponsors will host the First Annual IBC Sport Industry Reception in association with IBC on September 9, 2006, from 6 - 8:00 pm at the Business Club Lounge in the RAI Lower Auditorium.
The invitation-only event will provide sport broadcast and production professionals with their first opportunity to network and meet in the most convenient location during Europe's largest and most prestigious broadcast convention.
The event will celebrate the recent successful HD broadcast of the 2006 FIFA World Cup that was co-ordinated by Host Broadcast Services (HBS).
"Sport production is the driving force behind the transition to high-definition TV around the globe, and the SVG is pleased to honour the achievements of HBS for their work in producing the 2006 FIFA World Cup," said SVG Editorial Director Ken Kerschbaumer. "IBC is the perfect venue to present this award as it is where the leading international sport broadcasters are assembled at a single time, in a single place."
