Digital: It’s Not Too Late: Grow Your Audience With Live Streaming Video
Engage and grow your audience! Have viewers interact directly with your shows! Live streaming video has made true
“two way TV” possible. Follow the examples set by G4 TV, The Travel Channel, MTV and others who have worked with
Stickam.com, the live streaming video industry pioneer, to directly connect with their audiences. Reach viewers before the broadcast premiere by giving audiences an advance peek from the set or backstage (like MTV), have your stars host an
interactive Q&A pre show or post show chat (like The Travel Channel), or use the home viewers to power a “virtual
audience” that you put right into your TV broadcast via webcam (like G4 TV). Want to launch a new Web or television
series? Live streaming also provides an excellent, affordable platform to incubate your show and go viral before your
premiere release. Stickam can deliver over 40,000 viewers per hour to your event (and make you a #1 Twitter trending
topic)! Plus, live streaming can be a powerful additional revenue stream that’s advertiser friendly. Why? There’s no
skipping or fast forwarding during a live event (no time shifting) and audiences crave interaction. White labeling is also available.

Five years ago there were approximately 25,000 broadcasters in the United States; today there are more than 55 million. This is only one of the problems facing the television industry. Authenticated streaming, TV everywhere, open networks vs. walled gardens, real-time data, digital tribes, trust circles, communities of interest – there's new jargon and new challenges for the information age. Shelly Palmer, managing director of Advanced Media Ventures Group LLC and host of NY Nonstop’s Digital Life with Shelly Palmer, will help you see the intersection of technology, media and entertainment through your customer’s eyes.

Insight Arena: Fans & Brands: Success Stories in Co-creation & Connectivity
It’s all about the ROI. Advertisers want consumer engagement, data and sales. Programmers need to monetize digital distribution. Enter interactivity. Broadband has transformed the programming landscape – redirecting distribution, redefining “content” and reworking business models. Throw social networking in the mix, stir in innovative marketing tactics and voila, we have chaotic opportunity. Where do brands fit in to user-generated content? How do producers leverage direct to Web distribution? We’ll explore what’s possible through interactivity and targeted distribution across the spectrum: TV, Web, mobile, VOD, DVR, game consoles and retail networks. This migration to digital distribution and viral video networks creates a wealth of choices for programmers, producers, marketers and skilled amateurs. What does it mean for your business?

Digital: The Future of Mobile Monetization on TV: Mobile Promotions, Direct Response and Coupons
As the worlds of mobile and television converge and handheld devices continue to evolve, mobile content is easier to access than ever before, and mobile is on track to be the most pervasive media channel in the world. However, mobile advertising has still proven largely disappointing, despite upward trends in mobile users, smartphones and mobile access to the Internet. Why aren’t consumers as receptive to viewing ads on their mobile phones as they could be? While many television executives are treating mobile simply as another channel through which to deliver video content, there are other more inspired techniques for engaging viewers, building brands and bringing in revenues. This panel will discuss mobile promotions, sweepstakes, direct response marketing and mobile coupons.

Insight Arena: The New Frontier: When a TV Show Becomes a Branded Business Proposition
It’s clear that today’s audiences are not just in front of the television anymore. But it’s not just about TV anywhere. Today’s hits are not just television shows but branded experiences extending far beyond the broadcast. Whether it’s a community of LOST fans immersed in an alternate reality game, or a community of support for weight loss and healthy living building around THE BIGGEST LOSER, today’s TV shows are becoming anchors for a much larger proposition that builds and maintains community and keeps audiences active and interactive even when the show is not on the air. From casual games, graphic novels, character blogs, vlogs and tweets to full-blown second storylines, new franchises are being built in a whole new way that may let a TV show brand and story live long after its run on television is over.

Digital: The Next-Generation Showrunner: Jonathan Prince
It used to be all a showrunner had to do was come up with a great idea and deliver for a network. Now, showrunners need to be nimbler, quicker and ready to execute across all platforms.

In this insightful session he shares with NATPE attendees what’s required for a new-generation showrunner to write, produce and helm network series and also handle those same responsibilities for companion Web series.

Presentation Theater: Private Equity and Hollywood: After Years of Flirting, Are They Finally Ready to Get Serious?
Investors have always been fascinated by the sexiness of Hollywood and the content business, but in general have settled down with operations with hard assets that produce steady profits, such as television stations, movie theaters and newspaper companies. The private equity community in particular has historically avoided Hollywood because of its notorious resistance to eliminating lavish perks, inflated salaries and other cost heavy practices. Well…all that has
changed. Technology has disintermediated many “traditional” distribution assets, bringing the consumer all the closer
to the content. Publishing companies, newspapers and even television networks have been taking it on the chin over the
last few years, as their consumers are finding other ways to get their content – and in many cases more efficiently. This
creates a slew of opportunities for private equity firms to either purchase and restructure (i.e. trim the fat and make
more efficient) those distribution assets whose values have recently decreased; or to work with content companies
themselves in a whole new way – using these challenged times as a basis to recalibrate, if not altogether reset, Hollywood’s “old habits.”
