And thanks to the latest advances in technology, RSN production teams have more tools to enrich their storytelling than ever before, including high-speed cameras, augmented reality, and player tracking. Production leaders from RSNs across the country detail how they are advancing their productions to better serve the fan while also utilizing their resources and budgets as efficiently as possible. 9:45 – 10:00 a.m. Case Study 10:00 – 10:45 a.m. Networking Break in Technology Showcase Area 10:45 – 11:30 a.m. The Sports-Betting Factor: How Wagering and Predictive Gaming Will Impact RSNs After the Supreme Court’s May 2018 ruling paved the way for states to legalize sports wagering, many RSNs are looking to capitalize on the expected revenue boost. Several RSNs in states that have already legalized sports betting have launched predictive-gaming contests for fans to play during live game telecasts, as well as wagering-focused studio shows and other programming. Several execs blazing the betting trail will discuss how RSNs factor into this new sports-betting economy and how it will help to better engage fans. Agenda subject to change Continued on next page

AGENDA (continued)

Tuesday, June 25 (continued) 11:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. RSN/Team Partnerships: Leveraging One Another To Better Serve the Fan For RSNs, maintaining a quality relationship with the teams to which you hold the rights is essential for success. Learn how a great RSN/team relationship can best benefit the fans with intimate team access, extensive content sharing, and other collaborative strategies that are mutually advantageous. 12:00 – 12:45 p.m. Networking Lunch 12:45 – 2:00 p.m. Tech & Engineering Workshop (details below) 12:45 – 1:30 p.m. Streaming and OTT Strategy: Serving Your Local Fans on Every Screen Authenticated in-market streaming of MLB, NBA, and NHL games allows more and more RSNs to connect with local fans on a whole new level. As a result, the walls between linear- and digital-production teams are coming down, with RSNs looking to become more efficient and distribute content across an ever-growing number of platforms. Digital leaders from several RSNs discuss best practices in designing a live-streaming app, enhancing fan interactivity, differentiating the digital experience, and leveraging non-game content for these streaming/OTT outlets. 1:30 – 2:00 p.m. Social-Media Strategy: Tools, Tips, and Tactics for Social Success Be it through Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Snapchat, social video has helped spread consumption of regional sports content and engagement levels of local fans like never before. Each platform has its own identity, so how are content creators using technology and creativity to test the boundaries and develop new ways to interact with and entertain viewers? And most important, how can RSNs find better ways to monetize the content being distributed on these platforms? 2:00 – 2:15 p.m. Networking Break 2:15 – 2:45 p.m. Augmented Reality and Virtual Studios: Changing the Game on the Field and in the Studio Augmented reality and virtual studios have allowed RSNs to rethink what is possible for game telecasts and inside the studio. Data-fueled AR and player-tracking tools have provided new in-game storytelling and sponsorship/advertising opportunities on the field. On the studio side, virtual-studio technologies are allowing RSNs to expand their physical footprint, create more-flexible multi-use sets, display interactive analysis tools, and even teleport on-air talent from the field into the studio. Leaders from RSNs and vendors address the latest technologies — most notably, gaming engines — spurring this revolution. 2:45 – 3:30 p.m. At-Home Production and the Virtualized Truck: How Live Game Productions Are Evolving Over the past five years, no technological trend has had as major an impact on live sports production as at-home production. Many RSNs are deploying smaller crews and fewer resources onsite and running the production from a control room back home at the broadcast center. Learn how the at-home phenomenon and the shift to virtualization are transforming RSN production and what to expect in the near future.

This interactive discussion will feature engineering leaders from RSNs across the country as well as technology experts from top broadcast vendors discussing the hottest topics and biggest challenges facing the industry today. Whether it's in the studio or in the truck, RSNs are exploring next-gen formats like 1080p, 4K, and HDR while looking to integrate IP- and cloud-based workflows into their operations. And where do technologies like augmented reality and AI/machine learning fit into the RSN landscape? Learn from these top tech minds regarding the current state of the industry and where it’s headed in the future.

12:45 – 2:00 p.m. Technology & Engineering Workshop: 4K, HDR, IP, and the Future of RSN Production
