Just a day after the UEFA EURO 2008™ Final Draw the broadcast partners are gathered in Zurich for the second workshop organised by UEFA Media Technologies SA. The meeting will provide the rights-holding broadcasters with detailed information on the services planned for next summer's tournament.
First time
In total, 50 broadcast partners from 37 countries – ranging from TF1 and M6 from France to Greece's ERT and ESPN from the United States – are attending the two-day workshop where they were welcomed by UEFA Marketing Director Philippe Le Floc'h and UEFA Media Technologies SA CEO Alexandre Fourtoy.
Detailed Reports
Mr Fourtoy will lead proceedings and the 200 attendees will hear presentations about all relevant broadcast topics during the course of the workshop. "The first workshop marked the start of the partnership approach adopted by UEFA. The second workshop will be the opportunity to intensify our fruitful relationship," said Fourtoy. "Furthermore, it gives UEFA the chance to present more detailed reports on the status of the organisation of the tournament and the Host Broadcast Operations project as well as on UEFA's approach in terms of television and media worldwide."
Unilateral Meetings
After the presentations, the broadcast partners will have the opportunity to talk to the experienced Host Broadcast Operations team, who will be at their disposal to field specific questions. "The unilateral meetings give us the chance to discuss special requests put forward by the broadcast partners and to try to find a solution," explained Joachim Wildt, Head of Partner Services at UEFA Media Technologies.
