APRIL EVENT GUIDE

APOS SPONSORS APOS 2021 April Event Guide | 2

Thank you for joining us for APOS 2021.

APOS, the de voice and global platform for the Asia Paci c media, telecoms and entertainment industry, continues to evolve this year, to deliver 3 apex events that uniquely combine unrivalled human and digital connection.

This rst event focuses on the Asia Paci c region with emphasis on the continued growth of the digital economy, powered by streaming , and its impact on consumption, content, connectivity and technology.

Consumer spending on video in 14 Asia Paci c markets reached an aggregate of US$58.3 billion in 2020, according to Media Partners Asia (MPA). This represents a robust 9% year-on-year growth, driven by 35% growth in SVOD revenues in the peak pandemic year of 2020. Total video advertising revenues reached US$56.1 billion, a 13% decline with a 16% drop in TV advertising due to the pandemic impact, partially offset by 3% growth in the robust digital video advertising market. Both TV & digital started to recover in Q4 2020.

We are grateful for the insights and diverse perspectives shared over these next three days from platforms, content creators, investors, policymakers and technology industry leaders as they discuss strategies and trends from a local, regional and global perspective. On Demand, you will also nd valuable industry brie ngs & roundtable discussions along with daily sessions after live streaming is complete.

We are grateful to our Sponsors and Attendees who have enabled the rst APOS virtual event in 2021 to take place.
