Welcome to the TV connect event series
global Networking in connected entertainment
TV Connect Global Events is the next stage of evolution
for the IP&TV World Series
The name change reflects the changing nature of the ecosystem, which has become more convergent and strategic in its
focus. New players from the world of apps, advertising, content and new media are having a greater influence on the
industries evolution. This reflects the coming of age of the industry, which is moving away from a focus purely on technology,
and shifting more towards services and experiences.
The legacy of the world’s leading show, TV Connect Event (formerly IP&TV World Forum) continues, while the name change
echoes the evolving nature of a converging marketplace.
We are optimistic for 2013 as we see various regions and markets around the world grow. The new year will see the return of
successful events such as OTTtv World Summit and CDN World Summit. Both events continue to attract great interest from
many of the innovators and thought leaders within the market delivering burgeoning and vibrant places to meet, learn and
do business.
We will also be looking to build on the achievements of our launch events from 2012 including the expanded Social TV World
Summit and CDN Asia Summit. Both of these events enjoyed successful launches in 2012 and post-event interest is showing
they will be stronger in 2013!
Please take your time to read through this brochure which highlights what our events are about and the benefits of being
involved in our events.
