Seeing clearly in the cloud – strategies for business transformation

Breakfast served from 7.15am - 7.45am

Session from 7.45am - 8.45am

The Forum

The broadcast and media industry is at the tipping point of its transformation to an on-demand, data-driven world with the cloud at its heart. It’s disrupting every level of our industry – people, technology and business practices.

The journey to the cloud can be complex and full of obstacles, requiring media companies and tech vendors to transform together to address a whole new range of business and technology challenges, from the move to consumption-based models to the adoption of multi-cloud (including on-prem) workflows and machine learning.

Powered by IABM’s data-driven insights on the business of media technology, this session will explore the challenges and opportunities of transformation to a cloud media ecosystem through a lively debate between proponents of cloud everywhere and those yet to be convinced.
