Behind the Scenes at ITV Sport

This session is part of the Connect & Inspire strand which offers a variety of sessions, from in-person networking and online roundtables to in-depth case studies, designed to promote the sharing of knowledge and the building of relationships across unscripted TV.

Hear from the team. Get inspired by their journeys. Find out what it really takes to make sport sing on screen.
