Recorded live at IBC, where OBS collected the prestigious International Honour for Excellence, CEO Yiannis Exarchos and CTO Sotiris Salamouris reveal what it takes to broadcast the Olympics to nearly 5 billion people.
From "merciless" planning cycles to Olympian-piloted drones and more than 1,300 cameras, they explain why cutting-edge tech is only ever the enabler – never the star – behind the human stories that make the Games unmissable. The executives enjoy a candid, warm conversation about trust, tears, and storytelling at the highest level.
