Download the ebook to learn how AWS is revolutionizing the business of sports with immersive, predictive, data-driven technology.

Competing against at-home conveniences like HDTV and VR experiences, sports organizations and stadium/arena owners and operators need to leverage advanced technologies to reduce friction points and enhance the gameday experience for fans and operators.
Venue managers and administrators are innovating their business with AWS, driving increased operational efficiency, developing sustainable arenas, and ultimately providing a more captivating fan experience. Such innovations are based on AWS machine learning, data lakes, serverless technologies, and low-latency edge services. By providing frictionless experiences with AWS technologies like Just Walk Out, venues such as Boston's TD Garden can make it easy for fans to shop in the stadium and for venues to increase their revenues. Companies such as Oak View Group are raising the bar for sustainable venue operations through AWS technologies.

Benefits

Provide frictionless experiences
Reduce fan frustrations of live events with technologies like Just Walk Out and Amazon One at retail sites that let fans check out and get back to the action fast, while delivering hyper-personalized fan experiences.
Reach sustainability goals
AWS offers the broadest and deepest set of capabilities in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), Internet of Things (IoT), data analytics, and computing to reach your organization's sustainability goals.
Drive operational efficiencies
Manage venues as a single-pane-of-glass by consolidating and aggregating data from the multiple venue systems into a common data lake, providing management apps and dashboards, and enabling digital twins of the venue for near-real-time operations.
