OTT Executive Summit Overview
T hank you for your interest in the 7th annual OTT (Over the Top) Executive Summit, being held May 29, 2019 at the Marriott Marquis in New York City's Times Square. The OTT Executive Summit brings together the top minds in video content, distribution, and technology to discuss how OTT is enabling new business models for both traditional Pay TV providers and new innovators, and the challenges to making that vision possible. We are planning another fantastic gathering of industry executives representing the “who’s who” of the industry— including service providers, broadcasters, programmers, content producers, advertisers, and enabling technologies. 96% of past attendees were senior executives and all were key thought leaders and decision makers.
The OTT Executive Summit is like no other conference you have attended. The format guarantees a highly strategic, educational, and even fun experience. The conference mingles industry executives and experts with a “Trender Panel”— a focus group of normal, everyday people representing various demographics. In addition to discussions of key industry topics, the OTT Executive Summit is gamified, with the winner being awarded the "OTT Genius” trophy. In addition, “Best of Show” and other trophies are awarded based on ballots cast by the audience during the Product Speedcase, in which sponsors conduct demos or presentations for attendees. This conference is sure to be a thought-provoking and fun way to exchange ideas.
The Summit has been hailed as an innovative event "that had the perfect size and format for the topics being discussed, and was very insightful". One executive called it an "excellent chance to share ideas and insights with an extremely bright, gregarious group... a truly worthwhile, enjoyable, experience. Great job putting this together!" Last year’s OTT Executive Summit drew over 225 experts and executives, in-person and live-streaming, for highly informed and interactive discussions. Feedback for last year’s Summit was very positive. In fact, 91% of past attendees rated the Summit 8 “exceeded expectations”, 9 “loved it”, or 10 “amazing!”
There is limited space available so please sign up soon to take advantage of the great content and networking during the day. Questions? info@OTTexec.com.

Our panels are highly interactive, with input from the experts, Trender Panel, and Q&A with the audience and online livestreamers texting and tweeting questions.

A diverse panel of "Trenders" keeps our experts grounded in the reality of the everyday TV/video consumer.
