Search, aggregation, and user experience platforms are now the pivotal gatekeepers of the streaming ecosystem, shaping how audiences discover and consume content.

Our expert panellists, Fahad Durrani, Head of Content, Product Discovery & Monetisation at Google TV, Gabriel Cosgrave, GM EMEA & SVP Global Sales at TiVo, Hilary Goldsmith, Chief Customer Officer at Nexxen, and Rose Hulse, CEO at ScreenHits TV, delve into the evolving influence of these platforms on content discovery, competition, and regulation.

Key topics include the role of AI-driven recommendations in navigating audience fragmentation and strategies for content providers to achieve visibility in a crowded landscape.

The panel will also examine the growing data potential for gatekeepers, exploring future-facing monetisation opportunities such as CTV display advertising, first-party data, and ACR data, and how these innovations are reshaping the business model for streaming.

As new OS manufacturers and app ecosystems rise in prominence, the conversation will address how power dynamics are shifting among gatekeepers and what this means for the future of TV.

Ben Keen guides the discussion.
