Welcome to the TV connect event series global Networking in connected entertainment
TV Connect Global Events is the next stage of evolution
for the IP&TV World Series The name change reflects the changing nature of the ecosystem, which has become more convergent and strategic in its

The World’s Largest ConnectedEntertainment Event Comes ToLatin America!2011 saw latin America emerge as one of the fastest growingglobal markets for pay-TV and broadband service subscriptions inthe world, with the subscription increases of over 30% for pay-TVand 20% for broadband services in Brazil being typical for othercountries such as Argentina, Mexico, colombia, Venezuela andthe caribbean.
With the growth in the region outpacing the growth rates of Russia,China and India, in addition to household spending for movies, musicand games being nearly double that of China, Latin America is now beingviewed as the next big opportunity for the global connected TV market.
With major OTT and CE players quickly moving in to capitalise on whatis already a competitive market, incumbent connected TV serviceproviders have to expand the scope and availability of their servicesand optimise their infrastructure to cope with the increased demand.
This dynamic Latin American market has unearthed excitingopportunities for new and existing multi-platform connected TVplayers to maximise their potential and reap the rewards from therapidly growing Latin American market.
It is on the back of these exciting developments and new marketopportunities that Informa are proud to announce that the world’slargest multiplatform connected TV event in Latin America: TVConnect Latin America.
Adam Thomas is Media ResearchManager with Informa Telecoms &Media. He leads the TV research teamresponsible for much of the contenton the TV Intelligence Centre.
Informa Telecoms & Media forecasts that pay TVsubscriber numbers in Latin America will reach81.9 million by end-2017, up 65% from 49.6million in 2011. Pay-TV revenues, meanwhile, arepredicted to rise from US$17.3 billion by 2011 toUS$29.9 billion in 2017 (see fig.).
The outlook is also positive for new TVtechnologies and services. Informa forecasts thatthe installed base of smart TVs, games consolesand other Internet-enabled devices will exceed 26million by end-2016 in Brazil alone. Similarly, thecountry’s advertising revenues from over-the-top(OTT) video services are expected to exceedUS$126 million by that time.
New-found strength
Latin American economies have historically beencharacterized by their lack of strength. But now,right across the region, Informa concludes thatfinancial systems appear to be much tougherthan previously.
The improved macro-economic situation hasplayed a part in creating positive sentimentacross the TV sector, which has been furtherbolstered by other factors. Additional revenuesresulting from telecoms deregulation, plus othercompetitive pressures, have encouraged cableoperators to upgrade their networks to astandard that provides voice, Internet and digitalTV services.
lATiN AMericAN PAY TV suBscriBers TO reAcH 81.9 MilliON BY eND-2017
Wealthier operators have been able to build out and upgrade faster than the traditional single networkoperators. But network overbuild saw operators typically provide large basic packages and no premiumprogramming. The tiering of channels which were available on their competitors’ basic packages wouldhave lost them subscribers.
Consolidation has, however, significantly reduced the field of players and Informa recommends thatoperators push ahead with upgrades, particularly as they can now do so with less fear of losingsubscribers
to cheaper competitors. The rise of digital terrestrial (DTT) services also increases the necessity forupgrades. DTT services o�en provide a similar number of channels to analog cable – meaningsubscribers should be encouraged to upgrade, before they notice that there is little benefit of remainingwith analog cable and churn to DTT.

paradigm with big dataOur lives are consumed by liking, tweeting, sharing and followingnow. Social Media has opened up new worlds to us by allowing us toaccess shared content which before we never knew would haveexisted. Log on to twitter any day of the week and you will see themain discussions revolve around what people are watching.
This represents a great opportunity for the broadcasting industry.Many Broadcasters see Social Media as a major way to evolve thebrand relationship with their audience and drive new revenuestreams.
Therefore at this critical time when the major brands are starting toharness the potential of social media and increase their revenuestreams, we present to you the Social TV World Summit. The SocialTV World Summit goes beyond simple discussions about thedevelopment of multiscreen.
It addresses both the business and the technical considerations inhow Social TV platforms should be included into effective andintelligent operator and broadcaster engagement strategies.
It is a key opportunity for broadcasters, new media, operators,vendors, analysts, developers and OTT players to network anddiscuss the emerging role of social TV for future revenue strategiesand for you to raise your profile and position your company as aninnovation and thought leader.
the Multiplatform ArenaIn an increasingly multiplatform environment for broadcasters,keeping hold of your multiple assets and distributing them in aprofitable way is becoming an increasing challenge. Consumers aregiving the opportunity to view the content across multiple mediastreams, each bringing a monetization opportunity for contentowners. 2011 saw the increasing shift away from tape based intodigital workflow methods, this looks set to continue in the yearsahead, with broadcasters looking deeper into the cloud.
The conference has been developed in partnership and with theexpertise of some of the key leaders in the media asset managementecosystem. This is reflected in the senior level speakers confirmed tospeak at the event.
Key companies driving the change in the industry will berepresented in attendance at the inaugural Digital AssetManagement World Summit, including Comcast, MTV, DiscoveryCommunications and the BBC.
Assessing the growing opportunity presented to the
broadcasters to monetize digital content in a multi-
platform world
• Addressing the importance of broadcasters to have the rights totheir content on all platforms, not just linear TV
• The death of tape and the transfer to digital as the major way oftransporting broadcast. The change from hardware to broadcastingdata in the cloud
• Assessing the paradigm shift from an internally focused technicalworkforce focusing on hardware, to generally an outsourced workforce using digital contentmanagement processes – Content in the cloud
• Understanding the growing importance of metadata – additional information ‘data that describesthe other data’ – in broadcasting
• Leveraging CDN to provide managed and efficient production services
Compelling Consumer ServicesThe cable industry in Europe, despite the relative success of bigoperators such as Kabel Deutschland, Virgin Media and UPC, is facingsome major challenges. Among other things, the consumer adoptionof connected-TV devices and the anticipated growth of over-the-top(OTT) providers such as Netflix threaten traditional providers of pay-TV services, with viewers no longer reliant on a sole provider ofpremium TV content
Faced with these challenges, one thing is clear – the cable industrymust evolve to succeed in the connected era. While there is no easysolution for cable operators in this new environment, a singletechnical evolution underpins their future success.
This evolution is the migration of cable services to IP In combiningthe bandwidth of cable with the flexibility of IP, global cableoperators will be able to advance into the connected era and focuson those digital consumers who are willing to pay for more services,while enabling more effective collaborations with OTT providers tobuild audiences and deepen viewer engagement via theirsmartphones, tablets or laptops.
The IP Cable World Summit is the best place to listen tocase studies from the largest cable operators and meetthe full ecosystem.
Develop the New 5th PlayThe Digital Home World Summit 2012 addressed every aspect of thenew medium and its relevance across the whole value chain.Including 50+ speakers from the forefront of the Digital Home acrossthe world, the show included over 30 service provider case studies,plus input from content providers, innovators, industry forecasts andprojections, and ample opportunity to network with the leadingglobal voices of this new industry. Join us in 2013 where you willmeet the leading players making this dream a reality.
As Connected Entertainment continues to evolve, the role ofOTTtv has become increasingly central to the industry. The realisationof this opportunity has been seen in recent key developments,including Netflix's move into the European marketplace and BSkyB'sannouncement of an OTT service.
The OTTtv World Summit has become to be known as the world'sleading OTTtv event, bringing together the industry's game changersannually to London every November.
