Technology is important. The people engaging with the technology are more important. It’s a simple equation – if you work on developing your people and a healthy work environment, they will perform their jobs better and the productions will reflect this commitment. At this year’s SVG College Summit, we are excited to offer a unique Leadership Workshop conducted by the Gargano Leadership Group. Headed up by Chris Gargano, a veteran of the sports video industry on the professional team front (New York Jets, San Francisco Giants, Oakland Raiders) you’ll receive a crafted workshop designed to help you improve your communication skills, better serve, and understand your staff. As a result, you will have the tools to create a more positive culture within your production teams. (By invite/signup only)
