The World’s Leading Event On Connected Entertainment
IP delivered entertainment is now Ubiquitous and Pervasive
The inevitable rise of IP delivered TV continues. OTT is not only a mainstream delivery medium, it is now so pervasive and compelling that all service providers, whether fresh to TV or with entrenched managed TV infrastructure investments, are seeking to harness over the top to enhance their on-demand offerings. Multiscreen and On-the-Go TV are now must-have services, with broadcasters competing on the level of integration and personalisation that their service offers. The arrival of traditional TV manufacturers as OTT service providers through their “Smart TV” products has further enriched the choices available to consumers. And Cablecos are also now implementing IP, seeking a killer combination of their interactivity and addressability with their high bandwidth infrastructure.
Varied Platforms, Varied Challenges: Converged Solutions
IP&TV World Forum is unique in uniting the varied players in the broadcast landscape to advance the opportunities presented by IP delivery. The event brings together broadcasters from a wide variety or platform backgrounds – smart TV, OTT, cable, satellite, terrestrial, & telco–to-network, compare experiences and brainstorm solutions. The conference is incredibly rich in service provider case studies: not only did 180 different service providers present in 2011, but the conference attendance was over 50% service provider companies, providing a uniquely high value networking experience.
Meet the World Under One Roof
IP&TV World Forum is not only service provider rich, it is a uniquely global networking opportunity. No other event offers the opportunity to meet such a diverse range service providers. The event is truly global, bringing together executives from 91 countries from all six populated continents. IP&TV World Forum is unquestionably one of the world’s top three Broadcast events, but the number one event worldwide in terms of international service provider networking opportunities.
Expanded for 2012
The 2011 event was a huge success, and demand for exhibition space was so great that by the close of the 2011 show, 85% of floor space has already been taken 2012. As a consequence, the 2012 event will for the first time also use adjacent additional event space in Olympia 2. This both allows us much greater exhibition floor area, and an enhanced conference experience, with the conference stream located in a special new “Conference Quiet Zone” in Olympia 2.
The Awards
A highlight of the event is the IP&TV industry awards celebrating excellence in the global IP & Connected TV industry. These are presented at prestigious Gala networking dinner on the second evening of the event. The award winners are chosen by an esteemed judging panel of the key thought leaders and innovators in the industry, with the panel being drawn from the leading service providers in the sector. For 2012 the Awards will be held at the London Film Museum in County Hall on the South Bank, and feature a flight on the London Eye for all participants.
