Media Supply Festival 2022

This year, the Media Supply Festival will take place in person at the Hyatt Regency Dulles, just outside Washington DC, USA.

It will explore the major trends in software defined, cloud led content production, management and distribution.

The event consists of three elements:

  • Media Supply Conference sessions will explore the technology and business challenges with both executives and engineers
  • Supply Chain Showcase will return to examine real media companies’ solutions in depth, bringing these subjects to life like no other event
  • The Demo Zone will offer opportunities for software vendors to demonstrate their products to attendees in person and online

09:35 - Why doesn't supply chain go from glass to glass?

The phrase 'supply chain' often conjures up a defined set of workflows around content processing and fulfilment. But why don't we apply supply chain thinking to the whole media value chain, from production to distribution?

10:15 - Does security have to be so hard?

Achieving and maintaining security assessments can be an expensive full time job. Managing content and infrastructure security is daunting, yet industry conversations are often banal rather than practical. How can the industry come together to make the process easier and cheaper?

14:30 - How do we deliver on the promise of data?

The software defined infrastructure and supply chains of today generate huge volumes of data about content, operations, and users. But why do media companies still find it so hard to turn data into insights - and better decisions?
