Hi everyone, we've launched planning for 2021 OTT Executive Summit (www.OTTexec.com Nov 16-18 virtual/hybrid). If you're interested in joining a similar all-star lineup this year (see image for 2020) as a speaker or sponsor, please drop us a line info@OTTexec.com. Last year we had over 300 candidates for 135 speaking slots (over 38 sessions) and we expect to have twice that many this year. Please send your speaker bios and abstract ideas. Below is the 2020 summary.



2020 OTT Executive Summit Recap and 2021 Plans:

Last year’s 8th annual (and our first virtual, truly global, and expanded three-day) OTT Executive Summit was a huge success! All in all, we had over 1,700 senior-level attendees who tuned in to learn from 130+ speakers from all over the world (see attached), and over 1,000 who watched the VOD recordings later. If you missed it, you can still watch all 38 sessions (25 hours of content) for free including: 3 market research presentations, 6 keynotes, fireside chats with 17 other executives, and 3 Trender Panel focus groups to hear what the average consumer has to say. Based on this success, we are keeping the same format in 2021 (we may add some hybrid sessions in cities around the world based on the status of the COVID pandemic in November). You can skim the 2020 VOD now to help you formulate your plans for 2021:

Day 2 Sessions:…

The last couple of years I've been spending more time researching and understanding OTT infrastructure-- capabilities, as well as technical and cost trade-offs. Probably the biggest area of innovation is the processing platform that runs most of the OTT service-- what we affectionately call "the cloud" (I was even hired as an expert witness for a lawsuit involving cloud platforms and encoders). I've learned a lot, but most of all that there are many more options out there than the usual suspects of AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure.

Yup, that's right, you're looking at 130 leaders in media & entertainment across OTT and Pay TV and everything in between. We've curated 37 informative sessions ranging from monetization, UX, sports, codecs, ad-tech, storytelling, piracy, content management, devices, QoE/QoS, social video, apps, search & discovery, and viewer acquisition, among others. Throw in six keynotes from industry heavy-weights, fireside chats with 17 others, three consumer focus groups, and two virtual cocktail receptions, and what we got here is THE definitive virtual event on all things OTT.
