OUR VIRTUAL CONFERENCE!

ANNOUNCING THE TVOT LEADERSHIP CONGRESS, SEPTEMBER 9TH and 10TH



Interactive TV Today (ITVT) and The TV of Tomorrow Show (TVOT) are pleased to announce the TVOT Leadership Congress, a virtual conference centered on the presentation of the 17th Annual Awards for Leadership in Interactive and Multiplatform Television (click here to submit Awards nominations). 

Taking place September 9th and 10th, the TVOT Leadership Congress will bring together industry leaders to celebrate the achievements of their peers and share and debate their visions for the future of the television industry as our society and economy re-emerge from the current crisis. The event will provide an unparalleled opportunity not only to hear from but to interact with the women and men who are leading our industry into tomorrow.

We are pleased to announce that Comcast Technology SolutionsSimpli.fiVerizon Media and Canoe have already signed on as TVOT Leadership Congress sponsors.




A UNIQUELY SOCIAL EVENT…


More than just a conference, TVOT has always been the gathering of a community, where long-time participants not only catch up with one another, network and exchange ideas, but meet and cross-pollinate with the fresh new voices and perspectives that we feature at each event. Thus, in addition to panel discussions, keynotes and the presentation of the Awards for Leadership, the TVOT Leadership Congress—despite being a virtual event—will offer unparalleled opportunities for networking, business development and social interaction with industry peers. Among other things, attendees will be able to contribute to the discussion via Q&A sessions, introduce themselves and their expertise to the community at large, meet one-on-one to forge new business relationships, participate in passionate birds-of-a-feather discussions on crucial industry topics, and more. Simply put: our goal is for this to be the most social, interactive and networking-friendly TVOT event to date.
