Imagine Communications unveiled the schedule and speaker lineup for the ImagineLIVE! Power Sessions, a series of presentations and interactive discussions featuring prominent executives and subject matter experts from across the media and entertainment and IT industries. The ImagineLIVE! Power Sessions will be conducted in the Imagine Communications booth (N2502) and provide NAB Show attendees with the latest information and insights on the trends and events that are influencing the decisions of media industry professionals today and into the future.
Imagine Communications will host 11 separate Power Sessions at this year's exhibition. This first-of-its-kind event at NAB is designed to drive a meaningful discourse among all segments of the media and entertainment industry ecosystem, as well as across the IT industry. Companies represented in the ImagineLIVE! Power Sessions include Imagine Communications, Arista, CBS, Cisco, EVS, Grass Valley, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), IBM, Lawo, The Madison Square Garden Company, Microsoft, NEP Group, Sinclair Broadcast Group, and TV Globo.
Never before has the media and entertainment industry faced such widespread disruption to longstanding operational procedures and business models, says Imagine Communications CEO Charlie Vogt. Turning this disruption into opportunity hinges heavily on acquiring a comprehensive understanding of the events and trends that are influencing our industry. The ImagineLIVE! Power Sessions are designed to provide valuable insights into the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing today's media and entertainment industry - attendance is a must for studios, networks, broadcasters, aggregators and communication service providers.
ImagineLIVE! Power Sessions presentation and panel discussion topics include:
The ongoing fusion of the IT and media industries, highlighted by the recent deepening of collaboration between Imagine Communications, HPE, Microsoft and other IT leaders
The emergence of video as the predominant communications currency within traditional enterprises and the increasing importance of video production capabilities across a broad swath of enterprise verticals
The influence of standards on an orderly but accelerated SDI-to-IP transition, and the role of the recently formed Alliance for IP Media Solutions (AIMS) industry organization
The rise of new business models and their impact on the competitive dynamics of broadcasters, service providers and other content owners and distributors
The evolving OTT marketplace and the ability of next-generation advertising technology to monetize an increasingly fragmented video consumption landscape
The transitional role of a hybrid SDI-to-IP environment and its ability to provide broadcasters and other media companies with assurances that the infrastructure solutions they purchase today will be viable in the future
