ITVT Presents...TVOT NYC 2018
ITVT is pleased to announce that TVOT NYC 2018, our ninth annual East Coast TV of Tomorrow Show (TVOT) event, will take place Thursday, December 6th at New York's famous SVA Theatre (333 W. 23rd Street).
TVOT NYC packs all the excitement of our flagship TV of Tomorrow Show into a highly focused, dialog-driven, one-day "intensive." The show--which is carefully designed to encourage networking & deal-making--enables the pay-TV, vMVPD & VOD operators, device manufacturers, social media companies, entrepreneurs & technologists who are building the TV & video platforms of tomorrow to engage in a productive exchange of ideas with the brands, broadcasters, networks, agencies, data/measurement specialists, marketers, investors, producers, developers, designers, storytellers, social-video influencers, showrunners, & other stakeholders upon whom the success of those platforms depends.
As previous attendees can attest (see testimonials below), TVOT & TVOT NYC consistently attract a veritable "who's who" of the interactive/advanced-TV, MVPD, OTT-TV, advertising, broadcasting/programming, data/measurement, streaming-infrastructure, consumer-electronics & social-video industries. The shows have been widely praised for offering a uniquely inspiring, rewarding & enjoyable experience, unlike any other tradeshow or conference.
Over the past few years TVOT & TVOT NYC have become the leading venues for agencies, brands, broadcasters, content-owners & adtech companies to explore the complex interrelationships between audience measurement, big data, & advanced advertising. They also provide multiple opportunities for TV & video professionals to examine the potential of significant new technologies, such as ATSC 3.0/Next-Gen TV, autonomous vehicles, Blockchain, artificial intelligence/machine learning, voice assistants, VR/AR, 5G, & more. Additionally, the shows have become one of the very few places where established TV players can meet & network with the creative & business communities that have emerged on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Twitch & other social-video platforms to address the rapidly evolving viewing habits & programming preferences of Millennials & Gen Z.
Once again, we will be offering sponsors & exhibitors a range of innovative & effective ways to drive awareness of their brand. We are pleased to announce that Gracenote (Nielsen), Inscape & Lotame have already signed up as sponsors.
As the end-of-year event-of-record for the advanced-TV/video industry, TVOT NYC 2018 will also provide attendees with their last, best opportunity to fully understand the significance of the many industry developments that have taken place in 2018, & to hone their strategic grasp of the key issues that will be shaping the industry in the New Year.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF EVENT...
While ITVT's TV of Tomorrow Show events feature an exhibit hall, keynotes & panel sessions, that's where their similarity to other industry conferences & tradeshows ends:
They are the only industry events to focus on the production, delivery, user experience & business of interactive & advanced TV across multiple platforms, media & technologies (e.g. pay TV, smart TV, mobile, OTT, social media, VOD, game consoles, programming, advertising, tcommerce, AR/VR, IoT, in-car, ATSC 3.0, 5G, Blockchain, voice assistants, artificial intelligence/machine learning, etc.)
Ensuring that attendees are able to meet & schmooze with the right people is a primary focus of the events. One of our principal goals is to introduce to one another people & companies with complementary visions & solutions.
The events are not "pay-for-play": speakers are selected for their expertise alone, not because they, or the company they represent, have paid a speaker's fee.
The events' panel sessions are developed through an ongoing dialog with the readership of the [itvt] newsletter, allowing us to ensure that they are topical, timely & accurately reflect the interests & concerns of the industry.
The panel sessions are highly interactive, with debates, open mics, polls & other features designed to promote discussion.
The events also offer in-depth Workshop/Master Class sessions, where smaller groups of participants have the opportunity to dialog with leading industry experts & explore new technologies, platforms & media in a more focused & hands-on way.
The events take place in unique, beautiful & interesting locations that facilitate socializing & community-building, & also feature innovative staging, designed to foster debate & communication between panelists & interaction with attendees.
The events are designed to promote cross-pollination between the interactive/advanced TV community & other creative communities, such as social-video creators/influencers, artists, performers, designers, interactive storytellers, independent filmmakers, & more.
Finally, the events are designed to be fun. They feature entertainments, challenges, contests, & a range of other social activities.
THREE INTENSIVE TRACKS
TVOT NYC 2018 will be broadly organized into three tracks/focus areas, featuring over 100 industry-expert speakers & panelists:
A Today Track will focus on the hard data that can be gleaned--and the lessons that can be learned--from the many deployments of advanced TV & video that are already in the field today. Representatives from the MVPD's, vMVPD's, technology providers, device manufacturers, broadcasters, networks, showrunners, advertising agencies, brands, measurement/data/analytics companies, OTT programmers, social media platforms, UI/UX designers, application developers & other players that are currently implementing new forms of television, video & advertising in the US & beyond will present examples of their work, & provide attendees with new deployment statistics, reports from the field, best practices & other insider insights.
A Tomorrow Track will provide attendees with the opportunity to explore how the various platforms, technologies, screens, standards, content genres & business models that make up today's advanced-TV/video space are likely to evolve over the coming months & years, & to identify new platforms, new technologies, new forms of programming & advertising, new kinds of data, new monetization strategies, & other developments that are likely to impact the space in the future. Highly interactive, dialog-driven sessions will enable attendees not only to hear from the companies, organizations & people that are shaping the future of television, video & advertising, but to question those experts & provide them with feedback on their efforts.
A Workshop/Master Class Track will provide attendees with a more intimate & hands-on environment in which to: 1) see & learn about promising new advanced-TV technologies, standards & business strategies; 2) get their questions & concerns answered by subject matter experts; & 3) gain practical skills for implementing new TV experiences.
In addition to these three tracks, the event will feature:
Vendor booths & demos.
The opportunity to book a private meeting/hospitality room--or even to co-locate your own corporate event at the show.
Gourmet catering.
A vibrant holiday cocktail party where attendees will have the opportunity to rub shoulders with many of the most influential figures shaping tomorrow's television.
