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.

Hoping you can join us either in-person or virtually.
This event is open to all.

All In-Person attendees MUST register for security protocol. Please bring valid ID.
