CASBAA OTT Summit 2017: Digital Transformation - How is Over-The-Top (OTT) Redefining Media
- Written by ACN Newswire
"We are delighted to be returning to Singapore for the fourth edition of CASBAA's OTT Summit," said Christopher Slaughter, CEO, CASBAA. "While traditional media incumbents remain dominant, there's no denying the growing impact of over-the-top (OTT) video services, and how they are transforming viewing habits throughout the region. We have been saying it for years, but it's now increasingly apparent that OTT is truly a big part of pay TV's future."
The spectacular success, both critical and commercial, of such diverse video platforms as Netflix, Hooq and Spuul have established OTT services as real competitors to mainstream broadcasters. According to a survey by BCG, OTT services are growing by more than 20% annually and winning share over traditional TV.[1] Traditional media must respond fast to this existential crisis.
The real challenge for incumbents is how to rethink their business strategies in light of such drastic industry transformation. Are legacy business models holding traditional media back as they contemplate the OTT challenge?
CASBAA has convened a select field of industry thought leaders, senior executives and market practitioners, including: Ajit Mohan, CEO HotstarAravind Venugopal, VP - Media Partners AsiaWinradit Kolasastraseni, SVP Innovation - Discovery Networks Asia PacificSimon Vella, Head of Asia, MPP GlobalOliver Wilkinson, MD, PwCAlan Soon, Founder & CEO, Splice NewsroomShad Hashmi, VP - Digital Development, Global Markets & Operations Asia, BBC WorldwideLam Swee Kim, CMO, Dimsum & Star Online MalaysiaPrem Kamath, Deputy MD, A+E Networks AsiaAlexandre Muller, MD APAC, TV5MONDEJonas Engwall, CEO, RTL CBS AsiaVirat Patel, MD, Pioneer ConsultingMonica Bhatia, Regional Digital Director, APAC, MaxusGenny Yang, Group Account Director, Kantar Milward BrownDavid Schonfeld, Director Technical Operations, A+E Networks AsiaAlex Merwin, VP International, SpotXLuke Gaydon, VP of OTT Solutions, BrightcoveYu-Chuang Kuek, Managing Director APAC, NetflixRavi Vora, CMO, HooqS Mohan, Co-Founder & COO, SpuulLindsay Servian, Head of ONTAPtv.com, PCCW GlobalMaya Hari, MD - SEA & India, TwitterTim Martin, CEO RugbyPassMichael Greco, VP APAC, VindiciaCK Lee, VP, Sports Business - Content Group, ASTROUnmish Parthasarathi, Head of Digital Sales, International Cricket Council & Founder, Picture BoardCraig Johnson, MD Media, SEA & India, NielsenPriya Khatri, GM Sales & Business Development, SEA EyeotaJay Shah, CEO, OpenDNAJames Miner, CEO, Miner LabsRoger Harvey, Regional Director, IrdetoMike Kerr, MD Asia, BEINJoe Welch, SVP Government Relations APAC, 21st Century FoxHian Goh, Partner, NSI VenturesYinglan Tan, Venture Partner, SequoiaMarcel Fenez, President, Fenez Media
