10:20 - Mega Keynote Roundtable - New Couch Potatoes: Leveraging Consumer Insights the Future of Entertainment in the Digital Universe
You’ve heard it all before: It’s a billion-channel universe; innovate or die; the death of television as we know it. Digital changes everything or does it? With mobile connections crossing the 4 billion mark, fixed schedules are collapsing as viewers choose when & how they watch TV – and increasingly where. Television however, is not dead, but going through a fundamental shift. Our focus should not be on emerging technologies alone, but on emerging cultural practices. How and what will the couch potatoes of tomorrow choose to view, and how will networks reach them? This keynote will set the stage for the entire day, revealing insights into:
1) How this has all evolved?
2) Where we are today?
3) Where we can all go successfully with mobile TV and entertainment in the future?

Mark Laudi, CEO, investorcentral
