Pre-Con – TVREV’s Future of FAST Supersession
1:30- 1:50 Intro and Keynote, Alan Wolk, TVREV: The State Of Streaming TV. What You Need to Know and What You Need To Do About It
TVREV’s Alan Wolk will introduce the day’s events and then give a presentation where he reviews some of the key trends they’re seeing in the streaming industry this year, why they matter and what you need to do to make sure you can profit from them.
 
1:50 - 2:20 Panel: Forget About the Streaming Wars. The Real Battle Is The OS Wars 
While the US industry has been focused on the “streaming wars” a far bigger battle is at stake: the OS Wars. This panel will focus on who the key players are, what is at stake and what publishers should be looking out for.

2:20 - 2:35 Fireside Chat: Local News Goes FAST
Tim Hanlon of TVREV Proximity will conduct an interview around how local broadcasters are moving their news shows to FASTs, weaving in personalization and automation to create the local news program of tomorrow.

2:35 - 3:10 Panel: All TV Is Local 
The targeting abilities of streaming are rapidly changing the definition of what we call “local TV.” This panel will discuss how local broadcasters are taking advantage of streaming—FASTs in particular—to grow their businesses. The panel will look at how to monetize local TV on FASTs and how syndicated programming—talk shows, judge shows and the like—will also pay a role in the history of local.

3:10 - 3:25 pm - NETWORKING BREAK          

3:25 - 3:40 Keynote: Political Advertising on FASTs 
This keynote will review the latest research on how campaigns are planning to use FASTs to meet their goals.

3:40 - 4:10 Panel: Context Is the New Demo 
The ascendency of generative AI and access to better metadata has advertisers taking a new look at contextual targeting. This panel will look at how understanding everything from emotion to actors to actions helps create a better environment for ads and how that can be used to power everything from shoppable content to personalized channels.
Panelists: 
Raghu Kodige, Founder & CEO, Anoki
 
4:10-4:25:  Finding Your Niche: How To Grow A Successful FAST Network [Fireside]
As big studios and big networks get involved in the FAST business, there is still room for smaller players with dedicated niche audiences to thrive. The speaker will share their success stories and what they learned along the way, the good decisions and the bad ones.

4:25 - 5:00 Panel: Are FASTs The New Cable, The New Broadcast, Or Both? 
For advertisers, FASTs are the new cable, a way to reach audiences they are not reaching elsewhere and to heavy up on specific demos and geographies. For viewers, they’re the new broadcast—free ad-supported television that provide a way to enjoy a wide range of programs without having to crack open their wallets. Panelists will debate which is the more accurate description and why.

Paul Erickson, Principal, Erickson Strategy + Insights LLC

3:40-4:00 Keynote + Fireside Chat: Super Bundling and The Future of Indirect Channel Distribution for Subscriptions
Growth in the streaming subscription space is increasingly being driven by indirect channel distribution, particularly by the emergence of Super Bundling, where subscriptions from multiple different content providers are offered to consumers as a single-billed, often discounted “Super Bundle” by telcos and other players (according to data from Omdia, 20% of all SVOD subscriptions are already sold through telcos).
Bango recently completed a survey of 5,000 US subscribers, to understand the emerging behaviors and trends when it comes to subscriptions, insights from which will be shared during a short presentation and followed by a fireside chat and a chance to ask questions.
Speaker: Giles Tongue, Vice President, Marketing, Bango
Moderator: Paul Erickson, Principal, Erickson Strategy + Insights LLC 
 
4:00-4:40 Panel: The Takeover of Streaming Bundles: From Cable Cutting to Lifestyle Integration
  • How has the rise of bundled offerings responded to consumer demand for convenience and value?

Keynote: Winning in a Share-Driven Market: New Perspectives on Optimizing Subscriber Value
The "boundless" growth and optimism that once characterized the streaming market is a thing of the past. Growth is no longer driven by new subscribers coming to the market or others willingly signing up for more and more services. Growth now is hard won and comes through stealing share and lowering churn - and by recognizing how different subscribers represent different value and opportunity. In a market such as this, the winners will be the ones that behave more like P&G than like a media company. This track session looks at what that means for successful acquisition and retention strategies. Using new data, we'll explore how subscriber value can be sustainably optimized through relentless targeting of audiences based on variables that impact the how and why subscribers stay or leave, engage (more or less), and tell others about your content, plus what that can mean for the bottom line.
