Sport’s Digital Opportunities – Bonus Debate at Media Playground

As the country gears up for the Champions League final at Wembley tomorrow night – a bigger TV audience than the Superbowl is expected – and next year’s Olympics, Media Playground will add a topical bonus session this year to discuss sport’s commercial place in the digital world – The Olympic Digital Debate.
