What Now? What Next?
Fuse 2
2:45 PM-3:45 PM

Another year, and another onslaught of mega-mergers, executive shuffles and new buyers entering the fray has made its presence felt in the global unscripted and non-fiction content industry. Business models continue to shift both for “traditional” media and for the disruptors, and producers consistently need to adapt in order to navigate a road map that is constantly being redrawn. Here, top executives across different sectors of the industry offer their perspectives on the major changes underway – and those to come in the near future – that will impact your business, as well as their thoughts on how to best handle the twists and turns of a shape-shifting mediascape.

Streamer Wars: AVOD Strikes Back
Fuse 1

While many eyes on the industry are on the upcoming arrival of SVOD services from major media players, established and emerging AVOD services are making waves by bulking up their libraries and, in some cases, grabbing eyeballs with original content. But where is it going from here, and what opportunities exist for content producers and creators in the ever-evolving AVOD market?  Hear from leading AVOD services about where they’re heading in the immediate future, and how your content could fit into the picture.
