Capitalizing on Over-the-Top
Video Services
Led by Colin Dixon, Senior Partner Advisory, of The Diffusion Group

This year at International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in September, it was evident that there has been a fundamental shift in the way operators, content providers and consumer view video services. All attention is now squarely focused on the Internet as a primary delivery mechanism for entertainment services. Although traditional media viewing remains important to consumers, clearly Internet video’s impact is starting to be felt. With Over-the-Top video solutions beginning to vie for consumer attention, understanding how the delivery of TV services will evolve has never been more important.
From the evolution of the devices beneath the TV to the sweeping changes in consumer attitudes and consumption patterns, identifying opportunities has never been more difficult – and never been so important. Is the future of entertainment a hybrid mix of broadcast and Internet or will one or the other win out? Which services will come to dominate in this new world order?
This half-day workshop will provide the ideal orientation to anyone wishing to understand the opportunities and threats presented by the rapidly developing world of online video delivered over broadband networks.
Colin Dixon is an internationally recognized expert in the field of online video and interactive television. Drawing on his analyst and consultancy work with The Diffusion Group, he will bring an independent perspective to this pre-conference briefing, setting the latest developments in their international context.
The workshop will cover the worldwide market for delivering online video to different devices, the latest trends in consumer viewing behaviour and a close look at the most successful over-the-top services including Netflix, BBC iPlayer, Sky Player and Amazon.
There will be plenty of opportunities to ask questions, discuss issues and gain valuable insights in an informal workshop environment.
