HOT TOPIC: The Future of Streaming and the Technology Needed to Stay Ahead of the Game

Following an introductory presentation by Nick Thexton, CTO of Synamedia, a panel of experts will identify and elucidate a number of key technological and strategic challenges impacting the future of streaming. Questions to be addressed include: How will new technologies and devices accelerate OTT and expand the scope of growth and revenue generation, while also heightening user experiences? What role will business insights and data analytics play in creating more accurate churn predictions? Why is it important not to lose focus on the “big screen” when building UXs? Can niche content survive without super aggregator services? And how can piracy be tackled so as to protect premium content, while addressing place-shifting legitimate content and credential sharing? Panelists include:

• Colin Dixon, Chief Analyst, nScreenMedia (Moderator)
• Janice Pearson, Director of Business Development, Synamedia
• Nick Thexton, CTO, Synamedia
• Scott Ehrlich, SVP of Growth Networks and Content, Sinclair Broadcast Group
