The Streaming Industry Turns the Camera on Itself
I ve spent more than 20 years producing webcasts, promoting streaming technology, and speaking, moderating, and running industry events, but 2020 was the first year I focused on attending conferences virtually, of course. And while I come to the end of the year with some criticisms, I ve mostly been satisfied with my experiences.
I chair Streaming Media s Content Delivery Summit, and back in March we were facing the prospect of taking the event online. I researched online virtual conference and webcasting platforms, but in the end decided the best fit was the simplest a Zoom meeting. Not only did it work, but in some ways it worked better than an in-person event. It was much easier for speakers to participate, and we could reach a far more disparate audience, who came in droves and contributed a fantastic energy.
