OnlineVideo.net Now Part of the Streaming Media East Conference

This is anything but just another conference. This is OnlineVideo.net's Video Marketing Power Track.

The Streaming Media East conference celebrates its 20th year in 2018, and it's doing it in explosive style: by greatly expanding the tracks it offers and the topics it covers.

Video insiders know the Streaming Media conferences as places where hard-core video insiders come together to discuss the latest codecs, formats, distribution methods, and more. For that audience nothing has changed, and the conference will continue to be one of the most important events of the year. But there are a lot more people working in online video than there used to be, and not all of them are engineers and programmers.

In short, the online video world has expanded, and now so has Streaming Media East.

That's why—for the first time—the 2018 conference will include a dedicated video marketing and advertising track. You need to be there whether you're guiding the first marketing efforts of an SMB or the global cross-platform strategy of a Fortune 500. This one-day track will look at the obstacles challenging advertisers and publishers as they try to reach consumers where they live, work, and shop. It will have the biggest names in video marketing offering lessons and speaking from their own experiences. Because this is Streaming Media East, it will offer a detailed deep-dive that the other conferences can't match. Will be plenty of time for networking? You know it.

The full Streaming Media East conference will also include tracks on video technology, business strategy, live streaming, and artificial intelligence.

If you're a video marketing expert with knowledge to share and you'd like to be a part of this amazing debut, please visit the speaker nomination page for Streaming Media East. We're looking for thought leaders who have seen the future of our industry and want to spread the word.

Streaming Media East will take place May 8 and 9, 2018, at the New York Hilton Midtown, with pre-conference sessions on May 7. Registration will begin later this month. For sponsorship opportunities, contact Joel Unickow, Streaming Media's vice president and publisher.

This is a major evolution for both OnlineVideo.net and Streaming Media East, and we couldn't be more pleased to be part of it. Join us and see everything that the online video ecosystem has to offer.
