Testimonials

The inaugural College Sports Video Summit, held in 2009, was an overwhelming success. Below are some of the comments and feedback we received regarding the event, and just a few of the reasons to join us in 2010!

“The SVG College Sports Video summit was a first-class, information-packed experience. Whether it was listening to expert advice as to how to begin producing video, or how we can all elevate the sophistication of what we may already be producing, or how to integrate social media as a means to promote our video content, or for ideas as to how to use video differently or monetize video for our school – I came away with an outstanding list of ideas over the two-day workshop, many of which we were able to implement almost immediately on campus.”
- Mark Fratto, Associate Athletics Director for Communications, St. John’s University

“I wanted to compliment you on the event. It was a fantastic show that I know is going to grow bigger and better in the years to come. You did a terrific job, and I enjoyed the panel discussions immensely. I had two of my productions nominated for College Sports Media Awards and was a proud representative of West Virginia University. The awards ceremony was the highlight of the trip, and I have never been a more proud producer than I was when I saw my clips during the ceremony.”
- Chris Ostien, Senior Producer / Director, Mountaineer Sports Network

“Thank you for including me in the inaugural SVG Summit! I enjoyed the conference sessions and the panel I served on. The information was very enlightening and I commend you for taking the initiative to put together a conference that was long overdue. I am looking forward to the second annual!”
- Kyle B. Kallander, Commissioner, Big South Conference

“I want to congratulate you on a successful conference. It had to be difficult to get that many people to attend and, most importantly, participate in all of the panel discussions. Thanks again for all of your work and I really hope that more schools will begin to realize the importance of SVG and this summit.”
- Paul Danna, Director of Multimedia Services, University of South Carolina Athletics

“What a great job everyone at the SVG did in putting the first CSVS together. It was truly a great event. Most people don’t know the time and effort it takes to put something like that on. To do that so well in year 1 is quite an accomplishment. You all should be very proud – I heard nothing but good things throughout the duration of the event.”
- Colin Smith, Vice President, New Media and Distribution, Raycom Sports

“You did an outstanding job with the conference. It exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to future conferences. I hope that I can contribute more in the future if you need it. Thanks again for your hard work.”
- Richard Wanninger, Associate Executive Director, Patriot League

“What a great conference! You guys did a phenomenal job. I’m trying to make a point to my University Relations group that we need more of a presence at next year’s event!”
- Bridget Burke, University Relations, CBS Interactive, Sports
