Cisco Teams Up with Oak View Group for Standardized Live Entertainment Infrastructure

Cisco has announced a strategic partnership with Oak View Group (OVG), one of the world's leading live entertainment companies. The partnership makes Cisco OVG's official technology partner, and will see the two companies work together to standardize and simplify how OVG's venues operate.

The partnership is significant because it marks a shift from OVG looking for just a vendor, to choosing a strategic partner that can handle their diverse needs across every market, venue type and use case. Cisco shines in this area, with its expertise in AI-ready infrastructure.

Cisco is already powering several marquee OVG venues, including Climate Pledge Arena, UBS Arena, and CFG Bank Arena. The company's AI technology is being used to manage crowds, cut energy costs, and personalize the fan experience in real-time.
