This week’s episode of Talk Back to Television features media visionary, David Berkowitz, Founder of Serial Marketers. Our very timely topic is the future of Netflix Basic with Ads, and how all Netflix Basic with Ads subscribers can GET RID OF THOSE ANNOYING ADS for only $3 per month, and get access to the entire Netflix catalog.
ITVT is pleased to announce that our next TV of Tomorrow Show event, TVOT SF 2023, will take place in San Francisco, May 24th and 25th. A highlight of the show will be the presentation of the 19th Annual Awards for Leadership in Interactive and Multiplatform Television—nominations for which are now open: click here to view Awardscategories; and click here to submit your nominations.
The show will be returning to its spectacular new home, the General’s Residence (also called "Officers' Club") in Fort Mason (1 Fort Mason, San Francisco, CA 94109), directly overlooking Alcatraz Island and the San Francisco Bay, and just a short distance from Fisherman’s Wharf, Ghirardelli Square and many other famous San Francisco attractions, as well as multiple world-class hotels. This venue offers a uniquely intimate, inspiring and pleasant space in which members of the TVOT community can catch up with old friends and associates, make new contacts, and pursue new business opportunities.
TVOT events are distinguished above all by the quality of the speakers they attract and by the groundbreaking discussions and new ideas that those speakers generate and inspire. As always, our upcoming San Francisco show will offer the chance not just to hear from, but to meet and interact with, the people who are shaping the future of the television and advertising industries. TVOT SF 2023 will bring together 150+ prominent speakers and panelists who are driving innovation in such areas as advanced advertising, audience measurement and research, attribution, audience-based buying, broadcast/local TV, ATSC 3.0/NEXTGEN TV, FAST, AVOD, SVOD, interactive programming, social video and beyond, to share unique insider-insights into their work and the strategic thinking that guides it, and to explain and debate their respective visions for television’s future.
