The organisers of the HbbTV Symposium and Awards have issued a call for speakers for the 12th staging of the event (London, November 14-15).
The HbbTV Association is co-hosting the event with Everyone TV, backed vy the UK public broadcasters, BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5.
This year’s key topics are: Consumer-facing services and innovations in HbbTV markets
HbbTV Operator Application; Targeted Advertising including watermarks for set-top box markets; HbbTV Test Suite and Interoperability and DVB-I and linear (live) IP channels
The HbbTV Association is particularly looking for presentations about user experiences and the business opportunities using HbbTV technology, particularly when supported by case studies of live services.
Following the successful introduction of the new concept last year, the HbbTV Symposium will again consist of a traditional conference on the first day, followed by the glamourous HbbTV Awards ceremony in the evening. The second day will feature an unconference at which participants decide about the agenda, topics and discussions, actively shaping and driving the sessions and conclusions.
Applications should be submitted through an online form on the HbbTV website.
