Streaming Forum is back in London for 2016, this time with a new emphasis on live streaming. The conference will focus exclusively on the challenges and opportunities inherent in delivering large-scale live events and live linear channels to multiple screens. The best practices presentations will cover every step of the live video workflow, including ingestion, transcoding, management, protection, distribution, monetisation and more.
Whether you’re streaming one-time entertainment, news, sports or gaming events, or delivering recurring live content, we’ve got you covered. While other events focus on event video production, Streaming Forum 2016 will take it to the next level, covering the technologies and strategies required to take that video and deliver it to viewers watching on computers, tablets, mobile phones, set-top boxes and smart TVs.
Topics covered will include the following:
- Best practices for backhaul, transmission, and ingest—satellite, fibre, cellular and more
- Encoding and transcoding—on-prem, cloud, and hybrid
- Management—media servers, metadata, content protection, stream stitching and preparation for syndication and post-event VOD viewing
- User experience—video player features, clip sharing and social media integration
- Monetisation—advertising, subscription and pay-per-view
- The future of live streaming
- Case studies from leading content owners
Streaming Forum 2016 is the only event to address the highest-level issues and opportunities related to live streaming. This is a must-attend show for technical and business decision makers whose jobs depend on delivering successful large-scale live events and live linear channels online.
For the first time, Streaming Forum will be part of London Entertainment Week and co-located with BVE, adding value for delegates by providing them unlimited access to the UK's premier Expo for the broadcast, creative and entertainment sectors.
