The rate of change in the consumer streaming ecosystem is rapid. In the space of a few short years, streamers have had to pivot away from, not only a predominantly subscriber-revenue based model, but also content exploitation and platform strategies.  

In the beginning, streamers were staunchly protective of their content - staying firm in their approach of getting users onto their owned and operated services. Since then Smart TVs have continued to gain market share and subscriber fatigue has firmly set in.  

In response streamers have needed to rethink how subscribers access their content. Aggregators like Samsung, LG and YouTube offer in-built audiences to streamers, but not without restriction. Other streamers like DAZN have taken a broad distribution approach with frequent announcements of carriage and distribution on third party platforms.  

In this webinar, streaming experts will attempt to make sense of it all.

The streaming wars 2.0: Re-evaluating D2C strategies

Transitioning from traditional broadcast infrastructure to IP is a significant evolution for the industry, promising enhanced flexibility, scalability and integration capabilities. Deploying IP is not without its challenges, but through best practice, it is possible to unlock the immense benefits of IP-based systems, such as cost efficiency, enhanced security, improved workflows and collaboration.

In this webinar, we will delve into the complexities of implementing IP connectivity within broadcast environments, and what has been learned along the way. We will discuss:

- Understanding the foundational elements of robust network design tailored for broadcast requirements, including redundancy, latency considerations, and bandwidth management
- Navigating the maze of IP standards and protocols, such as SMPTE 2110, and ensuring seamless interoperability between diverse equipment and systems from multiple vendors
- Strategies to guarantee high QoS in an IP environment, ensuring that the transition does not compromise the reliability and quality expected from traditional broadcast setups
- Understand how to design your IP infrastructure to be scalable and adaptable to emerging technologies and increased demands.

Amid tightening budgets across the industry, progress towards sustainability appears to be slowing and confined to those who actively prioritise it. 

It's not for lack of concern in principle, but those outside of dedicated sustainability roles are seeking concrete strategies beyond changing lightbulbs or reporting on company-wide carbon emissions.  

Enter the recently launched IBC Accelerator, ECOFLOW, designed precisely for this purpose.  

The project focuses on developing consolidated metrics for energy consumption at major steps of the end-to-end technology supply chain, best-of-breed energy-saving features into a unified user experience.  

Join the ECOFLOW project champions who will discuss the goals of the project, and how to determine and demonstrate opportunities for the industry to make processing, streaming and consumption of media more sustainable.

Measuring and reducing the carbon footprint of streaming workflows

In the worlds of connected tv and streaming there is more data available than ever before about what people are watching and how they are watching it. Understanding, analysing and interpreting that data is the key to unlocking new revenue potential for media companies across subscription and advertising. 
The challenge they face is bringing together multiple disparate sources of data and analysing it to create a single view of each media consumer. In this webinar we will hear from those broadcast and media companies at the cutting edge sharing best practice:

• Identifying and bringing  together data sources
• Is a data lake or enterprise data warehouse the right approach?
• What tools are needed to make data usable by business teams?
• In a post-cookie world, how can broadcast and media companies maximise the value of their first-party data for advertising?
• How can user privacy, compliance and trust be maintained?

Understanding the media consumer with data: A single customer view of the world

In this special feature, we will go ahead the scenes of the IBC accelerator on 5G remote production.

In this webinar, we will explore:
• The challenges of 5G remote in the middle of nowhere
• Scoping the project and the accelerator experience
• Execution and POC
• Industry impact and future accelerators

Behind the scenes: 5G Remote Production

Storage is a hot topic in the cloud versus on-prem debate. Content owners want to have control over their IP and to open up workflows in their content supply chain to maximise flexibility. Cloud storage is the solution for many media operations, maximising access and flexibility. But others are wary of unexpected costs and prefer to keep content in their own facilities, or are opting for hybrid deployment. 

In this webinar, we will discuss the fundamentals of an integrated storage strategy from production to distribution, and how to balance the capabilities and economics of cloud and on-prem options, including: 

• Different storage tiers (from high-availability disk and SSD to cloud object storage to deep archive)
• How content owners are modernising their storage deployments
• Integration with content supply chain and media asset management workflows
• Effective strategies for cost management 
• The role of the cloud and integration with on-premise solutions
• How to identify the right technology and partners.

Webinar: Storage - Cloud vs. on-prem

The broadcast/streaming sector has struggled to build a diverse workforce particularly in engineering roles where it competes against big tech for talent. As businesses with diverse talent often report stronger results, better culture and increased creativity, the long-term goal of attracting diverse talent into the sector has been defined, but what can broadcasters do in the meantime?

Building a diverse workforce is only effective if you can build a strong culture of inclusion in parallel, otherwise you will struggle to retain employees or some may have negative experiences in their workplace. 
In this webinar, we will cover advice for leadership on how to build a diverse and inclusive workplace, including:

• The value and necessity of industry initiatives, including talent programs, leadership development and apprenticeships
• Diversity at industry events - the importance of visibility 
• Advice for leadership on how to lean into your employees’ diversity 
• The importance of flexibility and a human-to-human approach.

Building a culture of inclusivity: Why D&I is for everyone

Sustainability is undoubtedly still one of the more discussed topics in broadcast and streaming. For most, there is confusion around how to create a real impact and when the chips are down, is sustainability more than lip service? Whilst it’s clear that there are a lot of good intentions around creating sustainable businesses, it is not clear what the building blocks are for sustainability nor what real world metrics are being used by the industry to measure performance. 

In this webinar, we’ll take a look at some of the foundational elements of a robust sustainability strategy:
• Energy, energy use and energy efficiency
• Is the cloud really lowering carbon?
• Carbon accounting: What counts and what doesn’t?
• Everyday sustainability: Building a culture of lower consumption
• Setting standards for procurement and collaborating to decarbonise the supply chain.

Driving measurable sustainability in broadcast and streaming

Please join us for the 8th webinar in our Exhibitor Workshop series. The floor will be open by our Marketing, Sales and Operations teams to answer any questions you may have on this year’s show.
