Building Online Community-Driven Entertainment
Media companies have faced arguably their biggest challenge with emergence of online content and the empowerment of the consumer to get content on any device, anywhere and anytime. Fragmentation of the audience, traditional revenue model disruption and the increasing cost and complexity of technology have left many broadcasters wondering just how they will ever succeed in this digital world.

"What is Television?"
With advances in technology, expanded deployment of broadband, and a demand from users to access the content they want whenever they want, the TV is no longer merely a device to get broadcast, cable or satellite programming. TVs from several major manufacturers are now enabled to deliver the best content from the Internet. How will this change the way we watch TV? What will this mean to the future of the industry? And what possibilities are just around the corner? Join Yahoo! Connected TV VP Patrick Barry for an engaging discussion on these issues as he shares best practices and learnings surrounding the ongoing creation and growth of the connected TV ecosystem.

Online Delivery to the TV: Breaking New Ground
The broadcast industry has increasingly been making their content available online with fantastic results, in many cases creating additive viewing. However, numerous consumer surveys highlight that most consumers would prefer to watch this content on the main TV in the home.
At the same time, many TV and CE vendors are looking at ways in which to differentiate their products from the competition and add value to their consumer proposition by incorporating IP connectivity and securing content deals.
In this series of presentations and Q&A panel session, a number of leading players share their views on the future for connected CE devices and online content delivery services.

From Disc to Digital: Transitioning the Consumer
Increasingly, video content owners are including BD-Live features on their Blu-ray discs and adding digital copy to both Blu-ray and DVD. The objective for some studios is to add value to physical media and encourage consumers to purchase higher cost SKUs; for others it’s all about transitioning the consumer to digital content and combating illegal downloads.

The Changing Role of the Retailer in Digital Content Distribution
Retailers have always played a key role in generating revenues for the music, video and games industries. Although digital distribution allows content owners to deliver direct to consumers, the role and brand awareness of the online retailers should never be under estimated. This panel of European retailers, who offer online content to their customers, will discuss their experiences to date and explore the synergies between traditional and online retail.

Ad Funded Content for Online and Mobile
Historically, half of all revenues generated by the Television Industry come from advertising. In the digital world, advertising potentially has an even more important role to play as a generator of revenues. Over the last 12 months the success of Hulu in the USA and the increasing presence of broadcasters moving their programming onto their own websites has kick-started this important sector. This panel will discuss the opportunities and pitfalls of offering premium TV, movie, music and games content free to consumers on an ad funded basis. The impact of the downturn in the economy on online and mobile advertising will also be explored.
