HbbTV to launch webinar series on TV and OTT developments

June 1, 2020 20.07 Europe/London By Broadband TV News Correspondent

The HbbTV Association will offer a series of webinars covering current issues, solutions and developments in the TV and OTT market.

The format will be a 60-minute session in English language with free registration and a full replay offered after the live webcast.

“Following the cancellation of the HbbTV Symposium and Awards 2020 due to the Coronavirus outbreak, the webinar series will provide an alternative platform to catch up with the latest developments in the converging broadcast and broadband industry and the solutions HbbTV offers broadcasters, operators and manufacturers to provide viewers with a compelling TV experience,” said Vincent Grivet, Chair of the HbbTV Association.

“The global HbbTV community will also gain first-hand examples of landmark HbbTV deployments, game-changing solutions bridging the TV and OTT world as well as specification updates and new developments,” added Grivet.
