Session 2: Sports: How Virtual and Augmented Reality are Changing the World of Sports Marketing (10:35 a.m. – 11:00 a.m.)
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are revolutionizing the way fans interact with their favorite sports teams and events. VR can be used to provide fans with a fully immersive, 360-degree view of the action, allowing them to feel like they are actually in the stadium or arena. AR, on the other hand, can be used to provide fans with additional information about the game or the players, such as stats or highlights, in real-time. This panel will discuss how VR/AR can be used to create new revenue streams and new marketing and sponsorship opportunities in sports, as well as the key legal considerations that must be taken into account.

In an evolving ad industry landscape, advertisers are looking for different ways to target key demographics and grow their consumer bases, particularly through content creation in Hollywood and on social media. This panel will explore different examples of the current interplay between content and advertising, the commercial risks and rewards of such advertising, and the legal issues confronting companies when they are marketing their products and services in ways that go beyond traditional commercials, including brand protection, deal structures, creative and financial controls, and rights reservations and administration.
