Today’s online viewers have an endless selection of content to choose from. This poses a challenge to media companies, content owners, video producers, marketers, and bloggers.

Join this session to learn how to monetize short content and the best way to distribute and promote it across social networks.

With 100 hours of video uploaded to YouTube every minute, it’s difficult to get your content to stand out. Whether you’re a traditional media company, a small business, an independent filmmaker, or any of the other millions of users uploading to YouTube, the questions remain the same: How do you get people to find and watch your videos? How do you monetize that audience? And can Google AdSense really support premium content? In this panel we talk to social media stars and filmmakers about how they use the YouTube platform to sell their shows and grow their audience.

Attendees to this session will learn how companies can customize their video workflow and integrate their existing video applications using open APIs.

With the rapid growth and fragmentation of operating systems and devices, traditional client-side ad insertion approaches no longer provide the best solution for content publishers or advertisers. Dynamic server-side ad insertion allows the delivery of video ads without an SDK or client plug-in, and is offering an alternative to the client-side approach. It enables content owners to monetize and offer a high-quality user experience on any OS or device, and this session will show you how.

Connected TVs and other streaming devices enable viewers to watch entire seasons of their favorite shows in a single sitting and remove them from the constrictions of linear TV. As a result, content owners need to get smart about how to market, organize, and present their content in connected environments so that they don’t miss out on opportunities to gain new viewers. This session provides expert advice about creating an effortless and engaging search and discovery process. Learn about playlists, curation and recommendations, metadata, sharing content across social media channels, and ways to make sure consumers pick your content on their device.

The Media Source Extensions and Encrypted Media Extensions are the standardized toolsets that enable browsers to deliver adaptive streaming and digital rights management without plug-ins.

If you’re considering replacing Flash with HTML5 standards-based technologies, this session details how and when you can do it.
