Eric King, vice president of technology for the Sacramento Kings and Golden 1 Center, and Ian Wheat, director of esports and innovation, will join us for a discussion about the world’s most technologically-advanced and sustainable arena. Golden 1 Center is a 17,608-seat arena that features a 2,500 square foot Tier-4 datacenter with more than 1,000 WiFi Access Points, 900 miles of fiber and CAT6a copper cabling, and redundant 100 Gigabit internet connections. The Kings, owned by longtime tech executive Vivek Ranadive, were the first NBA franchise to use Google Glass, drones, bitcoin, and augmented reality. This session is moderated by GeekWire sports tech reporter Taylor Soper.
