WORKSHOP 1

Converged Media Platforms

Following last year's workshop on "ICT and the management of creative content", the workshop will constitute a further development in the exchanges bringing the focus more on the convergence angle but maintaining the strong emphasis on the consumer which emerged during last year's discussions.

Convergence of devices is increasingly becoming reality with connected TV models and cloud computing. As a result, content is increasingly a strategic asset for telecom operators, equipment manufacturers, online service providers and social media which compete to provide new application services and innovative business models to respond to new consumption patterns.

Consumers are increasingly able and willing to access content which could be anything anywhere across multiple devices (internet-enabled TV sets, PCs, smartphones and tablets).

Programme

This workshop will be streamed live.

Six sessions based on a TV show format will explore issues related to convergence of media platforms with a particular focus on connected TV, but will extend also to issues such as content creation and consumption via social media.

The anchorwoman for the day will be Angela Mills Wade, Executive Director of the European Publishers Council.
