iHollywood Forum announced a lineup for this month’s IPTV World conference that includes both top television and telecommunication executives and leaders from leading Internet and mobile companies.
Keynoters Amy Friendlander-Hoffman, Senior VP, Programming, AT&T Operations and Sheau Ng, VP, Consumer and Broadband Technology, NBC Universal, will be joined by Walter I. Delph, Director FiOS TV Video, Verizon Communications, Scott J. Levine, Director of Product Management, AOL Video, Gene Pao, VP, Fox Interactive Media and more than 40 other executives on Sept. 25-26 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Foster City, CA.
The speaker list reflects how video content is becoming increasingly platform-independent, living equally on TV, the Internet, cellphones and videogames.
“A single-platform video strategy today is a recipe for failure,” said iHollywood Forum CEO and Co-founder Michael Stroud. “Consumers want to view video anytime, anywhere, and this year’s IPTV World is built around that reality.”
