BLUFFDALE, UT —Listen Technologies, a leading provider of advanced wireless listening solutions for 27 years, will join the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) as an exhibitor at SEAT 2025 in Nashville from June 29 to July 2, 2025. Listen Technologies will showcase Auri™, the first Auracast™ broadcast audio-based assistive listening system. Members of the Listen Technologies and Bluetooth SIG teams will also present at the conference, offering attendees an in-depth look at how Auracast™ broadcast audio is transforming the way fans engage in stadiums and arenas.
SEAT (Sports & Entertainment Alliance in Technology) is dedicated to the executives, decision makers, and professionals who work across the worldwide sports, collegiate, and entertainment industry. The core mission of SEAT is to provide an opportunity for the leaders of sports and entertainment venues to network directly with industry peers and to share innovative technology solutions, lessons learned, and case studies.
Making Audio More Inclusive for Fans
Kasey Kaumans, market development manager at Listen Technologies, and Chuck Sabin, vice president of technology and market development at Bluetooth SIG, will present ‘Breaking Barriers: How Auracast™ Broadcast Audio is Redefining Accessibility in Sports & Entertainment Venues’ on July 1 at 2 p.m. CST.
“In the evolving landscape of fan experience, accessibility is no longer just about compliance; it is about inclusion, innovation, and elevating the event for everyone,” said Kaumans.
Auracast™ is a new capability from Bluetooth® technology. It enables high-quality, low-latency audio to be transmitted to an unlimited number of compatible devices, unlocking a revolutionary listening experience for all attendees at sports and entertainment venues, not just those with hearing loss. Whether it’s clearer play-by-play commentary, multilingual broadcasts, or audio-described content for visually impaired fans, Auracast™ opens a world of possibilities.
How to Make Venues Auracast Enabled
Consumer devices featuring Auracast™ technology are available, and more are being announced. Auracast™ is quickly becoming a new standard feature in hearing aids, smartphones, earbuds, and headphones, enabling these devices to receive broadcasts from Auracast™ transmitters.
Kaumans will outline how venues can leverage Auracast™ technology to connect with fans and future-proof stadiums and arenas as adoption of Auracast™-compatible devices increases. He will demonstrate Auri™ in-room during the presentation and at Booth #12 during the conference. Listen Technologies and its strategic partner, Ampetronic, developed Auri™ so venues and guests can benefit from this technology now.
“From enhancing assistive listening to enriching the in-venue audio experience for the masses, this session will demonstrate how Auracast™ broadcast audio is transforming sports and entertainment, and why accessibility is the new frontier of premium fan engagement,” said Sabin.
