A Different Kind of Event...

While the TV of Tomorrow Show features an exhibit hall and panel sessions, that's where its similarity to other industry conferences and tradeshows ends:

• It is the only conference set to focus exclusively on the delivery of interactive TV on multiple platforms (e.g. cable, satellite, connected TV/OTT, iPad and other tablet/companion devices, IPTV, Web, mobile/smartphone, VOD, game consoles, etc.)
• Ensuring that attendees are able to meet and schmooze with the right people is a primary focus of our conferences.
• Speakers are selected for their expertise alone, not because they, or the company they represent, have paid a speaker's fee.
• The panel sessions are structured, educational, rigorous and highly focused, and even include moderated (and sometimes heated) debates on hot-button issues.
• TVOT conferences are highly interactive, with open floor/mic sessions and other features designed to promote discussion on a range of topics. Each year, we also offer in-depth workshop sessions, where smaller groups of participants will have the opportunity to explore new technologies, platforms and media through dialog with leading industry experts.
• TVOT conferences are designed to promote cross-pollination between the interactive/multiplatform TV community and other creative communities, such as video artists, robotics experts and independent filmmakers. Among other things, our events offer curated exhibits of contemporary artworks that exemplify the theme, "TV of Tomorrow."
• Our events take place in a beautiful setting, conducive to learning and creativity: a building downtown San Francisco and New York, close to great restaurants, hotels, shopping, museums, theaters, art galleries and more.
• Finally, our conferences are designed to be fun. It features entertainments, challenges, contests, and a range of other social activities.
