Football Film Federation Conference: The 2024 Football Film Federation Conference will be held April 27-29 in Minneapolis at the Mall of America.
Formed to help serve those behind-the-cameras pros in football, especially at the NCAA FCS, Division II, Division III and NAIA levels, as well as at the high school level, the event is designed to help bring together football video staffs from throughout the sport and also equipment/technology vendors into one location.
Specifically, organizers note: There is a wide spectrum of film at the various levels of football. It isn’t necessarily noticeable until playoffs when you trade and realize the film trade is hardly equal. The main thing that is critical for all football teams is the film. There are limited standards and they are not shared nor discussed or implemented. This leads to the creation of policy and standards that are significantly lacking for the 629 colleges at this level and the 15,000 high schools. This year is particularly important because the NCAA will announce the following: For all three divisions, teams would have the option of using tablets to view in-game video only. The video could include the broadcast feed and camera angles from the coach’s sideline and the coach’s end zone.
