Join us for a peek in to the future of sports, when we explore how use of audio technology can affect athlete performance, stadium experience and consumer behaviour.

How can audio technology enhance elite sports performance, fan engagemnt and consumer experience?
That will be the question explored when we invite a sports psycholigst and two front runners in the sports audio technology business to the webinar roundtable.
Meet FC Copenhagen First Team Sports Psychologist Morten Bertelsen who will delve into the need of audio technology and how the use affects the players’ performance and mental state. Jens Knudsen from Vokalo, a sports tech company that captures and analyses sports audio, will discuss how treating audio as a datapoint for analysis can enhance sports team performance, much like video and biometric data are used today.
Finally, Paul van Dooren from Dutch company Sorama will share his global sports business and consumer insights – as well as experiences collaborating with football club PSV Eindhoven; a collaboration where Sorama provides audio technology solutions for proactive stadium security purposes and stadium hate speech prevention.
The use and prospects of audio communication in broadcasting will also be layed out and discussed among the panelists, and we urge whoever interested in the field to share your views and join our discussion.
