Post IBC Review & OTT Sports Content Workflows Forum 2019
October 3, 2019
Post IBC Review & Focus on OTT Sports Content Workflows
3rd October 2019, Holiday Inn Kensington High Street, London, W8 5SP, UK
The London based Post IBC Review has been a popular feature in the annual MESA Europe calendar for some years, providing the opportunity for participants to review the key outcomes from the show and discuss the expected impact of key announcements.
In 2018, the event was extended with the addition of a dedicated focus on OTT Sports Content Workflows, which exceeded all attendance expectations and featured a very strong presentation line up which generated a lot of informed and insightful industry interaction.
This year, in response to delegate feedback, the event will be even bigger, with even more use case focussed presentations and panel discussions.
