Multi-Screen TV Summit Comes To Sydney
authorities in video on demand and multi-platform content production will gather in Sydney on 21-22 August when Sydney hosts the Multi-Screen TV Summit.
The two day conference will examine the changing TV landscape, from catch up television and cross platform release strategies, to communicating directly with audiences and examining the ROI for multi-screen sports broadcasts.
Australians now consume more than 100 hours of television per month across multiple screens, according to the Australian Multi-Screen Report. Viewers can now seek their own customised viewing experience including what platform they want to consume it on. Along with strategies on how to deliver and monetise this viewing experience, the Multi-Screen TV Summit will examine the future of media, how to work out the value of interactive content and how the next generations will consume content.
“Australian viewing patterns are broadening as people adopt new technologies. Broadcasters are adapting to changing viewing habits to ensure that the viewer can enjoy TV wherever and whenever they wish, and on the device of their choice,” said Tony Brown, Senior Analyst, Informa Telecoms & Media.
The shift has seen commercial free-to-air broadcasters changing and innovating in a digital environment at an increasingly rapid rate. Numerous ‘freemiumTV’ business models have been created, extending the viewer’s engagement with content to include the purchase of related products, as well as giving users new opportunities to interact and participate.
Attendees will hear from industry leaders on topics including emerging video on demand platforms, cross platform release strategies, catch up TV, how to value digital sports rights, new cross platform productions and high speed WebTV.
