Fourteen years ago consumer technology giving viewers control over scheduled television was forecast to destroy linear broadcasting and mass market advertising. Rumours of television’s demise proved to be exaggerated, but today the broadcast industry faces new opportunities and challenges in the era of online distribution and on-demand consumption.
The speakers will explain their strategies and present their visions for the future of television. This will offer a great opportunity to gain insights that will inform and shape your strategy as they consider how television is harnessing the opportunities of digitisation, and the internet.
Split into four dedicated streams Advances in Technology, Business Operations & Content Innovation, Industry Insights and Strategic Insights the IBC Conference combines world-leading speakers with a rigorously peer-reviewed conference programme that dissects the current state of the industry and maps its future.
