Dale will join fellow industry leaders on the panel “Redundancy and Reliability: Best Practices in Mission-Critical Broadcasts of Major Events,” scheduled for 4:05–4:45 PM EDT. The session will address how top broadcasters and service providers safeguard live productions of the world’s most-watched events, from the Olympics and World Cup to the Super Bowl and beyond.
