Our Speakers & Moderators

We’re all about conversations at OTT Question Time Live which is why almost all of our sessions are fireside chats or panels. This expansive format lets us go deep into the challenges and opportunities facing our speakers – and the industry as a whole. How do they get things done? What approaches are they taking? What metrics are they working to? And who are they themselves learning from?

For 2025, some of the topics that we’ll be exploring with 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, Tubi, Yospace and ZDF Studios as well as the new MD of NOW, include:

  • Profitability vs. growth
  • Adopting Broadcast 1.0 strategies to make OTT more successful
  • Engaging younger audiences
  • The economics, prospects and sustainability of AVOD
  • UI and UX innovations
  • Aggregation and bundling
  • The Big Consolidation
  • And, of course, the role of artificial intelligence

50+ speakers, 17 fireside chats, 8 panels. Sharing knowledge and information.

About OTT Question Time Live 2024

 

30+ Expert Speakers

Hear from – and talk to – leaders from A+E Networks, Amazon, the BBC, BBC Studios, Channel 4, ITV, Google, NOW, Sony Pictures India, Universal Pictures, Warner Bros Discovery, Xumo, YouTube and a range of international streamers / broadcasters about how they run their products and operations.

 

01

Themes for the 2024 Conference

 

This year’s big theme is “Common Challenges, Innovative Solutions”. This speaks to the idea that broadcasters, streamers, and vendors – wherever they are in the world – face similar issues like viewer engagement, product development and monetisation. How are they addressing these questions? 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’re continuing 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. 

 

04

Networking

OTT Question Time will be attended by 140+ broadcasters, content owners, and service providers from all over the world. Come and talk to industry friends and colleagues about common aims, challenges and opportunities.
