The IPTV World Series is a collection of market leading IPTV conferences and exhibitions that focus on the key marketing, business and technology challenges facing IPTV service providers. They provide a setting in which lessons and best practice are shared and where the key questions relating to IPTV market prospects and strategies can be explored and debated.
Each World Series event is targeted at a specific region and looks at the unique local conditions that shape business and marketing decisions there, with significant input from local IPTV operators, would-be IPTV operators, broadcasters, channel owners and content owners, regulators, analysts and other expert commentators - including competitors from the cable and satellite worlds. These events are characterised by their high levels of service provider involvement. Conference programmes feature speakers who are directly involved in shaping and deploying IPTV services.
IPTV World Series events provide a forum for learning and networking. These events provide as much market intelligence as possible into two days to minimize time out of the office; and all of the shows are held in exciting but accessible cities.
