What's Next for Social TV? Broadcasting is undergoing fundamental change, moving away from its current structure of information. SocialTV is built around people, not data; a profound change that impacts business strategy, design, marketing, and advertising. Broadcasting is no longer about numbers - it’s about people.

This presentation brings together the latest research from universities, technology companies and social business enterprise to describe the future of broadcasting, TV and how people are connecting ideas and brand messages are spreading.

During this eye-opening, action-ready presentation, Steven Turner will show you how to use the latest breakthroughs in broadcasting and social TV.

SimulTV is the first ‘TV Everywhere’ provider that integrates content and social sharing on the same screen, eliminating the need to view cable TV or video on demand on one device while chatting, tweeting, or otherwise socializing and searching in a second. The result is a high-definition social TV and web browsing experience that supports today’s must-stay-socially-connected-while-watching-TV mindset seamlessly and naturally.
