Imagine Communications, empowering the media and entertainment industry through transformative innovation, will once again host a series of knowledge-sharing and interactive discussions at NAB featuring prominent executives and subject matter experts from across the media and entertainment and IT industries. The 2017 NAB Show edition of the ImagineLIVE Power Sessions will be conducted at Imagine s newly relocated and redesigned booth (SL1516) in the Lower South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center, and is free to all attendees.
ImagineLIVE NAB 2017 will feature lunchtime and mid-afternoon sessions throughout the exhibition that are designed to shine a light on the latest technologies, innovations and business models that broadcasters and other media companies around the world are actively adopting to accelerate the modernisation of their businesses. Several of the sessions will focus on how Imagine Communications is leveraging its early embrace of next-generation architectures and technologies, including microservices, cloud-native applications and unified distribution, to help media companies fully exploit the benefits of IT-based virtualised environments using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) platforms. Other topics include monetising OTT services, cloud playout and how the company is working with leading broadcasters to explore the potential of the new ATSC 3.0 specification to support advanced services and unique business models, including the delivery of hyperlocalised programming and advertising.
Companies and organisations joining Imagine Communications executives and subject matter experts in the ImagineLIVE Power Sessions include Arista Networks, Disney/ABC Television Group, Fox Networks, EVS, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Microsoft, ONE Media, Sinclair Broadcast Group, Siemens Convergence Creators, SKY MEDIA, tpc, Telstra, TV Globo and Viacom.
After spending the past couple of years investigating and debating the feasibility of shifting operations to a more agile and versatile technology foundation, media companies understand that it is now time to take action to put in place the building blocks of state-of-the-art facilities that will serve the needs of their businesses for the foreseeable future, said Imagine Communications CEO Charlie Vogt, who will be hosting a special Power Session panel Tuesday afternoon on The Future of Television featuring Disney/ABC Television Group, Fox Networks, Microsoft, ONE Media and Viacom. This year s ImagineLIVE Power Sessions have been carefully selected to showcase how our customers are already well engaged in their efforts to introduce advanced business models and monetisation practices that are capable of keeping pace with an industry that is changing more quickly and profoundly than at any other time in its history.
