SEVEN MASTERCLASS
The rapid growth in the global OTT market has been fueled by changing consumer behaviour and the development of experiences, features and capability such as personalisation and FAST channels.
The key to further growth will be ongoing improvement of live stream quality and latency; a huge increase in live events, including sport; a diversification of streaming business models across the industry such as SVOD and AVOD; a revolution in video ad technology, delicately balancing commercial demands with quality user experience; and hyper-personalisation via AI and ML, enabling far greater content discovery than ever before. The user is at the centre of the streaming experience, integrating advanced technologies with intuitive design will be the key to success in the future of streaming.
This session will dig into these trends while highlighting the emerging technologies that enable these shifts.
