Digital Sport's Editor James Bayliss discusses Snack Media with Tom Jones before expanding on certain points made during the event with a few of the panellists on the night.

This episode welcome Raf Keustermanns, the CEO of Sportlight Ltd, who are looking to make a huge impact in the world of football and sport technology.

Who's responsibility is it to look after grassroots sport? Is sporting analysis and player development improving with digital or is it being hindered? All this and more with Playfinder's CEO, Jamie Foale and Total Football Analysis' Founder, Chris Darwen.

We had a great time listening to our wonderful panellists discuss the future of cricket at the home of the sport itself, Lord's. If you want a recap on the event, or hear some of the main topics that were discussed, listen here to our post-event interviews where our panellists continued to give some wonderful insight into the summer we've just enjoyed and what's more to come.

This week we talk the future of digital publishing with Snack Media's Niall Coen.

From advertising and sponsorhsip through to branded content and influencers, we discuss the creation and distribution of sports content in a world that's becoming increasingly hostile to publishers.

It's that time of the year: awards ceremonies and events galore are taking place.

Digital Sport's Chris McMullan and Rupert Pratt sit down to chat about the variety of sports industry events that have taken place over the last few weeks, what we learned from them - and the importance of partnerships and collaboration.

Back in February we brought together a panel of rights holders and a brand sponsor for a chat about the future of rugby.

This could be a key 15 months or so for a sport that has a golden opportunity to grow in key areas around the world. With a World Cup on the horizon in Japan ahead of an Olympic Games in Tokyo - which will see the second ever Olympic Sevens tournament - this is a chance to really stamp home the game in all its forms.

We ask what some of the game's biggest rights holders are doing to grow the sport, and how a brand sponsor can actively help rugby to grow, and not just support it with a cheque.

Panelists were: Martyn Hindley, EPCR; Sven Gloor, HSBC; Shane Whelan, Six Nations; James Abraham, World Rugby. The moderator was by Rupert Pratt, Digital Sport.

Anyone with a phone and an internet connection can be a publisher these days. But being a content creator means putting your head above the parapet and putting your own creations out there into the world.

We chat about the creators, some of whom have garnered huge online followings, but we also talk about those who are doing it for the love of their clubs - often underserved lower league teams.

There's also time for talk about the role social media plays in everyday life, how football clubs are navigating the minefield, and why the future of sports broadcasting could be in this social space.
