Why Attend

Why you should attend Connected TV Summit 2012

The TV industry is changing faster than at any time since the introduction of digital TV. Most of the opportunities and threats relate to the proliferation of viewing platforms and devices and the increasing use of IP delivery with its resultant reach, favourable economics and interactivity. The combination of connectivity and multi-screen viewing is creating a new kind of television: the post-convergence TV experience. The Connected TV Summit exists to help the understanding of what this means for existing and new stakeholders including broadcasters and content owners, platform operators and online content aggregators, the Consumer Electronics industry and other device makers, and advertisers.

As a conference we aim to: 

• Anticipate developments in the connected TV marketplace sooner than other events organisers, highlighting new disruptions, opportunities and threats

• Deliver programmes that contribute to your strategic research needs, looking 12-24 months ahead

• Invite the thought leaders and innovators who are driving market developments to share their insights, with great ideas being as important as big names

• Create a forum for discussion where best practice is shared and where there is plenty of opportunity for audience participation and networking.

• Work with speakers to ensure presentations and debates live up to their promise and delegates receive the value they expect.

Who should attend:

• Studios and content owners
• Content rights holders/distributors
• Pay TV Operators
• Channel owners/broadcasters
• CE manufacturers
• ISPs and online entertainment portal providers
• Online video aggregators
• Online video service providers
• Television advertising buyers/agencies
• Entertainment investment analysts
• Online publishing platforms and CDNs
• Customer premise equipment providers

Making Connected TV Summit even more engaging

Entering its third year, Connected TV Summit has a reputation for delivering thought leadership and insights that are a valuable addition to any strategic research. There are lively debates and there is excellent networking. In response to delegate feedback last year we are going to provide even more time for panel debates and one-to-one interviews in 2012. As usual, we will be encouraging audience participation in the venue and from our online viewers, and we will have our dedicated event Twitter feed again.

We look forward to welcoming you to London, May 2-3, 2012.
