The ProAV market is thriving, demonstrating rapid growth and cultural shifts that stand in contrast to the traditional media and broadcast sector. This session explores the essential, actionable lessons the media industry can learn from the professional audiovisual world — from technology adoption to operational models — to evolve its cultural assumptions and unlock new avenues for growth.

Broadcaster workshops

Broadcaster peer-to-peer discussions facilitated by the DPP. In this session we will separate into four working groups related to areas of media workflows rather than specific technologies. These are: Content production; Content management & processing, i.e. ‘the Media Factory’; Distribution including broadcast & streaming; Digital product and engagement / monetisation. In these discussions groups will discuss their roadmaps, the technologies they are trying to introduce — and the pain points they are having with implementing them. How can they learn from other European media organisations, and what kind of help do they need from the market?
