Rogers Sports and Media is redefining broadcast operations through modern software development, observability and a hybrid cloud environment. 

If you work in media production or content delivery, this is a must-attend presentation.

Rogers Sports and Media shares how they are exploring the frontiers of modern media operations by combining custom-built applications, hybrid infrastructure, and cloud technologies to support mission‑critical broadcast operations across Sports, News, and Entertainment.

Key topics include:
   ● Infrastructure strategy: on‑premises and hybrid cloud
   ● Modern software development building broadcast workflows and content creation.
   ● Observability utilizing (OTel) OpenTelemetry technology
   ● A look ahead of how Rogers Sports and Media want to do things differently.     

“Based on our business needs and operational requirements, our approach was to build in-house solutions-blending the right infrastructure on premises and in the cloud to deliver tailored applications. Along the way, we developed team skills and organizational trust to support our long-term goals.” Adrian Koziol

The presentation covers Rogers Sports and Media’s journey building a new technology department starting with a single developer, through the challenges and successes of adopting non‑traditional broadcast solutions, to delivering robust, purpose-built applications that power daily operations across Rogers Sports and Media’ channels.
