Each will help anchor the day’s program by offering their unique perspectives on the 2nd screen ecosystem, the transformation of the TV viewing experience through the use of second-screen apps, and  opportunities to engage with consumers outside of the living room using the 2nd screen.

The 2nd Screen Summit returns to Amsterdam Sunday, September 15 for an informative dialogue about the emerging European marketplace for 2nd screen engagement and monetization apps for smartphones and tablets. Building on the success of the 2nd Screen Summits (S3) held in the U.S. at both CES and NAB this year, S3 Amsterdam will underscore the importance of the 2nd Screen to digital distribution models being developed by content holders, brands and advertisers across the globe.
