"IPTV 2005: Technology and Strategy Conference" is produced by S2 Data Corporation and takes place on April 26, 2005, in San Jose, CA, USA.

While several other IPTV conferences almost all are exclusively focused on business models for Telcos, content acquisition and customer outreach, IPTV 2005 is according to Greg Fawson, President of S2 Data Corporation, "the essential developers event which brings together all segments of the technology ecosystem including semiconductor companies, OEMs, software vendors and telcos in a single forum designed to help companies plan, develop and execute winning technology strategies". The event will give an insight into the technology and market requirements for customer premise equipment, network access technologies such as ADSL 2+, VDSL2, video compression technologies, and CPE platform strategies.
