London Entertainment Week Hosts Streaming Forum 2016 16 February 2016
- Streaming Forum to Provide Platform for Global Industry Experts -
London, UK 16 February 2016 London Entertainment Week, the newly launched event from BVE, is to host Streaming Forum, a two day conference headlined by global industry experts from ITV, NFL, Sky News, Google, Amazon, Tourgigs, Boiler Room, Streaming Tank and more. Streaming Forum is just one of a series of co-located events taking place as part of London Entertainment Week which runs next week from 22 25 February 2016 throughout London.
Taking place on 23 & 24 February, Streaming Forum is developed specifically for anyone already, or interested in, streaming live events and live linear channels from both a technology and monetisation perspective.
As one of the only events in Europe to focus on both the technology and business of live streaming, the addition of this important Forum to LEW's week-long schedule looks set to promote networking and access to some of the world's leading live streaming pioneers and practitioners. Developed by the same team that delivers Streaming Media magazine, Streaming Forum draws on over 15 years' experience of influencing and reporting on the global online video landscape.
Comprising case studies, panels, keynotes and roundtable sessions, Streaming Forum delegates can expect to learn about backhaul and ingest options, encoding and transcoding, cloud alternatives to on-site hardware, social video, Second Screen, delivery networks, ad insertion, DRM, optimisation of the viewing experience and VR video, and more. The full programme is available at: www.streaming-forum.com. As such, Streaming Forum is a natural complement to BVE in light of this year's development of a dedicated Live Entertainment Technology sector phase 2 of which will be launched at this year's BVE.
"The biggest challenge facing streaming video right now is achieving broadcast scale without breaking the internet or breaking the bank, comments Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen, Streaming Media magazine's editor and Programme Director of Streaming Forum. Streaming Forum offers a look at some of the technical solutions, including multicast and cloud workflows, which will help content owners meet this challenge and keep costs down .
Co-locating the Forum with BVE represents enormous benefits for our delegates, providing unlimited access to the hundreds of suppliers and producers from the broadcast, creative and live entertainment sectors present in the BVE expo halls, He continues, Our aim for Streaming Forum at BVE is to bring together a close-knit community of global industry gurus and practitioners to set the parameters and pace for the live streaming space over the coming months.
For those unable to attend the full 2-day conference on the Tuesday and Wednesday of BVE, there will be a special Streaming Forum plenary session on Thursday 25 February at BVE s Screen Theatre on the show floor at 13.00. The panel, which will discuss Live Streaming Today and Tomorrow', comprises Eric Schumacher-Rasmussen; Dom Robinson, Co-Founder & Director of id3as; David Thorpe, Live Streaming Partnerships, YouTube; Jake Ward, Business Development Director, Groovy Gecko; Johan Bolin, VP Products, Edgeware; Tom Hancock, General Manager, 100TB.com and Jason Thibeault, Principal Technical Evangelist, Limelight Networks.
