Business-to-business intelligence provider Questex is launching a European version of its StreamTV Show next year.
The conference will be produced in partnership with media analyst Evan Shapiro and Evrose Group founder and CEO Tony Goncalves, and is scheduled to start April 12.
The Epic Sana Lisboa Hotel in Lisbon will serve as the conference host for StreamTV Europe, Questex announced on Thursday.
“As the streaming industry continues to grow globally, Europe presents a dynamic and diverse market that demands its own platform for collaboration and innovation,” Kevin Gray, the Vice President and Market Leader of Experiential Technology at Questex, said in a statement. “StreamTV Europe will serve as the hub where industry leaders, disruptors, and decision-makers come together to shape the future of streaming across the continent.”
StreamTV Europe has been in the works for about a year, according to a source familiar with its development. Europe is considered a major front in the next phase of the connected TV industry, with numerous streaming platforms and services vying for the attention and cash of European consumers.
“Europe is a perfect microcosm for the challenges and opportunities in Streaming content, with broadcasters, Big Tech, Big Media and creators competing, collaborating, and aggregating attention and economics. Now is the perfect moment to debate our issues and plan our future, in one of the most beautiful places on Earth,” Shapiro said in a statement.
“Content and technology have no borders, yet each market has its varying degrees of complexity. Importing and exporting insights is incredibly valuable,” Goncalves said. “By gathering some of the industries most influential figures in the innovation capital of Europe, this event will shape the future of media, on one stage.”
Questex is hoping to draw over 1,000 attendees and more than 100 speakers to the show.
