The 2025 Formetco Scoreboard Summer Camp wasn’t just another training day — it was an immersive, career-launching experience for students passionate about AV, sports broadcasting, film, and live event production.
Held at Formetco’s LHG Showroom in Duluth, GA, the event brought together students from across the Southeast — including Campbell City Schools who flew in from Ohio — for a full day of hands-on sessions, expert-led panels, and real-world industry exposure.
