Thursday 12 March 2020 – In light of the impending government announcement and as the situation around coronavirus continues to escalate, resulting in many of our clients to understandably enforce travel bans and/or restrictions on their staff attending events, we have made the decision to reposition next week’s Connected TV World Summit as a virtual and digital event only.

Unfortunately this means that we will no longer be admitting delegates into the venue due to health and safety reasons.

However, you can register to view the streamed content at this link www.connectedtvsummit.com/live-streaming-registration.

One week ago, after speaking to both sponsors and delegates, as well as following government guidelines, we took the decision to postpone the main event until October/November but to also run a one-day event (for free) for those who were still committed to coming to the event, especially as we were aware that people had already invested and planned their travel and accommodation, but it has become apparent that running an event with up to 200 delegates is no longer a viable option.

We are incredibly grateful for the support we have received over the last couple of weeks from our clients and delegates. We promise to deliver an incredible event for you later in the year. Your tickets for the event will be automatically transferred to the new event, but if you have any queries at all please contact us at team@mediatelevents.com.

We also appreciate that business needs to go on and our commitment to delivering the best insight and opinion to the market will continue throughout this difficult period. That is why we are curating a digital agenda in partnership with our speakers and sponsors with a series of streamed content on March 18, supported by interviews and webinars throughout the week, as well as written reports on Videonet and Mediatel News, focused around some of the main talking points from the CTV agenda.

We also feel we owe a responsibility not just to our sponsors, but to the wider events market in general, including our venue and suppliers, who are also facing an uncertain financial difficulty. Delivering content in a virtual format allows us to still support them, just as they have supported us through this difficult period.

We will send out details of this digital agenda in due course. All content will also be made available after the event to view online if you are unable to watch in real time.

We hope you all stay safe and look forward to seeing you all again very soon.
