Production teams were once defined by physical proximity — control rooms, studios, trucks, and on-site crews working together in real time. Today, AI, cloud workflows, and remote production technologies are fundamentally changing how teams are structured, where work is done, and which skills matter most. This session explores how production leaders are redesigning staffing models across live events, studio operations, and large-scale content production by balancing automation with human expertise to maintain quality, speed, and reliability at scale.
