Last week saw our first visit to the country of my father’s birth (as you may have guessed from my very Scottish surname!).  Glasgow is a wonderful city and we were lucky enough to find a great event location within it.

The event wouldn’t have been possible without the initial help from Robert Boyle (@RFC_Rab) in securing the venue and bringing together a great line-up of speakers.  It was great to be able to hear from the likes of Commonwealth Games Scotland, Dog Digital, Yomego, Scottish Hockey, Quipu TV, Teamtrackr…. and of course Rangers FC.

There is a great write up from the event by Mark Stuart from Yomego. He has brought together some of the insights from the event as well as explaining more about his presentation – looking at some examples of digital media successes within sport.

There was also a great panel session with Jack McGill (Quipu TV), Stuart Moffatt (Scottish Hockey) and Robert Boyle (Rangers). We took an in-depth look at live streaming and how this could be utilised by smaller sports, such as hockey, when it comes to gaining valuable coverage and awareness for their sport. Unfortunately we don’t have any video of the session, something we’re aiming to address at future events.

I’ve looked to include all the presentations from the event so you can take pieces of interest out for yourself.  We hope to be back in Scotland towards the end of the year and recap what happened at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Below the presentations you’ll see a Storify of the day!
