About OTT Question Time Live 2024

 

50+ Expert Speakers

 

Hear from – and talk to – leaders from the BBC, BBC Studios, Bedrock, BritBox International, Channel 4, Disney, Everyone TV, France Televisions, ITV, Google, Hearst Networks, Kantar Media, The National Theatre, NBC Universal, NOW, Tubi, Yospace, ZDF Studios and a range of international streamers / broadcasters about how they run their products and operations.

 

01

 

Conference Themes

 

Conversations about profitability are almost a given now so, in addition, this year’s other theme is Back to the Future which speaks to the idea that streamers are re-embracing some of the things that made the old TV model so successful: live TV, appointment-to-view, relative scarcity of content, supported by ads. How are they doing this? What strategies are they applying? What are their KPIs? And ultimately, what can we learn from each other?

02

 

1-1 Conversations

If you’ve watched any of our online OTT Question Time sessions you’ll know that we love Q&As! We continue this format at OTT Question Time Live where all of our speakers will be taking part in fireside chats with expert moderators. This means we can deep dive into their news, their goals, their methodologies, and ultimately, how they get things done.  

 

03

Vendor Showcases

Suppliers constantly innovate to ensure that OTT service providers can offer viewers best-in-class products. Our attending vendors will be quizzed live by potential customers about AI, adtech, content discovery and recommendation.
