TORONTO, Ontario and DENVER, Colorado (August 6, 2026) – Great venues don't just host events. They create experiences people never forget. Today's fans expect more than entertainment. Sponsors expect more than visibility. Venue operators need smarter, more flexible ways to communicate, engage audiences and create value.

That's why Oak View Group (OVG), a global leader in premium live entertainment infrastructure and services, with a platform spanning venue management, hospitality, and sponsorship sales, has named BIG Digital its preferred Portable Fan Engagement Technology partner and preferred Sustainable Display Technology partner in North America.

By selecting BIG Digital, OVG is establishing a framework to explore digital and interactive fan engagement opportunities across its portfolio of venues. Together, the organizations will identify new ways to elevate the guest experience, expand sponsorship opportunities and modernize venue communications.

From concerts and championship games to conventions, festivals and live events, BIG Digital helps venues create connected digital experiences that engage audiences, activate sponsors and modernize communications.
