About this Video

This video is from the iHollywood Forum’s IPTV Conference held in San Francisco, California.

About IPTV World Conference

Last year, IPTV was about big telephone companies – particularly AT&T and Verizon – moving into the television business. This year, it’s also about television-quality digital video moving to the Web, TV sets, movie screens, cellphones, games – any platform that handles rich media. It’s about monetization of content across multiple platforms. It’s about downloadable and streaming video, high-def and mobile TV. It’s about digital content’s next big profit center.

If you create or distribute content, it’s about the transformation of your business.

A Conference about Video’s Future

IPTV World is designed to help you create a video strategy that stretches across all platforms. Launched in partnership with the National Association of Broadcasters, IPTV World brought together the world’s top experts in IPTV and broadband video for keynotes and panel discussions designed to help you capitalize on the new face of digital video.
