March meeting in Leeds

SMPTE UK North visits... Sky Leeds

On 6 Mar 2025, 60 SMPTE UK members and friends from across the North of England met at Sky in Leeds for our fifth SMPTE UK North event and our first of 2025!

This time we met at Sky’s offices in central Leeds for an evening of discussion around the transformation to a more software-defined broadcast workflow. We heard from Dave Travis (Group Director of Content, Broadcast & Platforms) about Sky’s journey to develop their new cloud based, data driven, event-based sports broadcasting platform.

This was followed by a panel “Broadcasting in Transition: The Current State and Future of Software-Defined & Cloud-Driven Workflows".

We're grateful to our generous hosts Sky UK for a warm welcome and for the ample refreshments!

January meeting in London

SMPTE UK Young Innovators 2025 - Southern Edition

Our annual event bringing students, graduates and industry people together was another immense success!
 
On 30 Jan 2025, 225 SMPTE members and friends, including over 130 students and young talent met at Sky's Central Cinema for an evening celebrating the achievements of young innovators and showing pathways into media engineering. We saw some really interesting lightening talks from recent graduates; and then a very encouraging panel featuring young talent. This was then followed by a time of networking where young talent were deliberately mixed with groups of industry experts. There was lots of great conversation and many connections made!
 
We're incredibly grateful to Sky for hosting the event, providing more than ample supplies of pizza and drinks, and also for providing tours of the Sky Sports studios for students in the afternoon before the event.
