8 Vol. 44 No. 3 - September 2022 Issue The return of our Summer Lecture on July 6 at Mercedes- Benz World was a great success; we were so delighted to see so many of our good friends and industry partners in one room again. The morning consisted of lectures under the banner ‘Content Delivery – Innovation and Imagination’ and featured speakers Xavier Leclercq, VP of Business Development at Broadpeak, who delivered a fascinating overview of 4K OTT services delivery, followed by a broad-brush look at playout and the future of transmission by Phill Neighbour COO at Playbox Technology. Finally Matt Stagg, Mobile and Immersive Strategy Director at BT Sport peered into the future and gave us a fascinating and entertaining look at the potential of the Metaverse. We enjoyed a lovely buffet lunch and then took a deep breath and took to the race track, for an afternoon’s off-roading in a Mercedes G-Class 4 x 4 and then a hair-raising few circuits in a Mercedes AMG GT. It was an excellent day and ticked all the boxes – good friends, lots to learn, great food, incredible cars. Our next event is the Autumn Lecture and AGM on October 13 at the National Motorcycle Museum. Details will be announced shortly.
