www.ottexec.com • #OTTexec Page 1 Welcome to the 2020 OTT Executive Summit

020 has been a difficult year for many companies and Trender Research has 2not been spared. We were forced to cut back on employees and contractor hours and had two events canceled this year-- “Social Video & Livestreaming” in Los Angeles and “OTT Fest” in Atlanta. Like many businesses, schools, and families, we adjusted by moving our operations to a virtual model. To save costs, we paused production on our marquee “OTT Executive Magazine” and began plans to move from expensive print distribution to an all-digital (and more eco- friendly) magazine/community that will allow interaction, commenting, vlogs, and guest authors (more on that later). But like many companies, we didn’t retreat and instead took the time to strategize how to become stronger, more global, and to better serve our community. While many of us have had to struggle and all of us have had to adjust, OTT has had a year of tremendous growth. For sure, the media and entertainment industry as a whole has taken its hits, especially in regards to content production. But streaming video has soared, and many new OTT services have been launched or announced this year. That’s why we are so pleased to have been able to transform OTT Executive Summit into a virtual conference this year. I’m not going to lie, I do miss the collegial setting at the Marriott Marquis and the networking around breakfast, lunch, and our famous cocktail reception with THE best view of Times Square. But we’ve replaced that smaller gathering with an expanded three- day format that is both virtual and global. Now with over 1,250 attendees, 130 top- notch speakers, 38 sessions, 17 fireside chats, six keynote conversations, three Trender Panel focus groups, and two virtual cocktail receptions, I’m feeling pretty good about the change. Thank you all for joining us this year. 2021 can only get better, right? Here’s wishing you all the best for the remainder of 2020 and into the new year.

Best regards, Brian Mahony

The OTT user experience is not only the gateway to content choice, but also largely drives consumer satisfaction with any service, new or old. Hear from the experts at designing and deploying UX—what are the trends, the opportunities, and the pitfalls. How is UX changing this year now that so many consumers are trapped at home? Are we making up for lost time socializing in real life by watching videos together? What is it about OTT that allows consumers to engage in ways that just weren’t possible with traditional TV? We’ll answer these and other key questions in this expert discussion.

You can have the best content in the world but if people can’t find it your service is doomed. Content discovery is such a delicate balance of art and science. Designers are using AI, recommendation engines, even social media to attract eyeballs and direct them to content that best matches their interests, their past behavior, even their current moods. How can we best tailor an experience to give viewers what they want while still introducing them to new content they don’t know they want (yet)?

4:30pm - 5:15pm The State of the Art for Video/TV Advertising November 17th

According to some research, ad-funded streaming services grow quicker than subscription services. For some types of content, or when the limit for subscriptions is reached, consumers might find it accept- able to watch ads. But can the ad experience be less intrusive and still serve its purpose? Can inventions such as pausing ads and targeted advertising create a non-intrusive ad experience for consumers? Or are more interactive ads the way to go in the world of streaming? Are their ways to use OTT technology to better target (and monetize) streaming audiences? A panel of experts from the industry will discuss the latest development in video/TV advertising.

5:15pm -6:00pm Sports & OTT November 17th A Perfect Match

For some, sports and OTT is a match made in heaven. For one, streaming niche sports gives you global scale. And for the major sports that have been sliced and diced to death with stats and analysis, marry- ing new viewing options with data fans love is the perfect union. Sports is inherently a live experience, but one that fans love to come back to, so all modes of content streaming and VOD distribution can be explored. Finally, sports is ultimately a shared journey of fandom—how can we tap into shared, interactive, and social media to optimize the experience for fans?

Cable subs are declining, DTC services abound, and AVOD services are exploding in usage. It’s not like the old days when we all could rely on a dual, predictable revenue stream and could create great content around predictable budgets. Now we are at the mercy of households purchasing our content directly or the fickleness of the ad market. Given all this, how does a content producer create the best content for their audience? We’ll tackle these and other key questions with the help of our experts.

All of the various OTT devices play a crucial role in enabling access to streaming services and providing an optimal user experience to consumers. How are you thinking about content, platforms and con- sumption patterns by demographic, device, and distribution strategy? What devices will dominate the future of video entertainment and how does that change the content mix, production methods/budgets, and your distribution strategy? How do usage patterns and platform preferences-- particularly if mobile (phone, tablet and even laptop) becomes dominant-- impact monetization models and methods? Is there a future for STBs (cable, satellite) and if so how will it evolve (IP-based boxes like X1?)? And what about streaming media players /media hubs and SmartTVs? Do consumers prefer all-in-one for their lean back experience? Is this practical given the different lengths of noticeably evolutionary improve- ments of the processor tech vs. the display tech? We’ll tackle these and other key questions as we try to figure out the often fragmented device landscape.
