NATPE revealed an updated schedule of sessions and an additional wave of companies confirmed to speak at the 3rd Annual NATPE Streaming Plus. The event marks the first in-person event of the year for NATPE, the premiere global business association for content producers, distributors, streamers, and buyers across all platforms. Taking place at the W Hollywood Hotel in Los Angeles California on November 10, 2021 (in addition to being broadcast virtually), all in-person portions of NATPE Streaming Plus will have “NATPE Safe” procedures in place to ensure everyone’s well-being.
The single-day event is uniquely defined by its focus on the theme of “Choosing a Streaming Lane” -- reflecting how the industry’s leading streaming platforms are redefining their position based on business or revenue models such as FAST, AVOD, and SVOD, or a combination of the three. The keynotes and panel sessions will define the details of what is happening today and tomorrow in streaming media, paving the way for producers, programming execs, promoters, researchers, and media buyers to conduct business together.
“We have become the signature event for those navigating today’s changing television industry, and getting back together in-person marks an exciting moment for us,” said NATPE President and CEO JP Bommel. “As the streaming ecosystem continues to evolve, FAST, AVOD, and SVOD are dominating the conversation. We are thrilled to be bringing together the industry’s top minds, to help us navigate this space by sharing intel which will make it easier for producers, programmers, executives, promoters, researchers, and media buyers to conduct business together.”
