Topic and Description
Roundtable Topic: Migrating Linear Media Workflows into the Cloud
Description: Whether you’re a technology supplier or a media customer, migrating existing linear workflows to the cloud can be a challenge. Simply understanding this new landscape and its terminology while making existing solutions work in the cloud could seem daunting enough. Yet truly successful migration requires moving past this “lift & shift” mentality and refactoring technology based on an understanding of cloud costs, optimization, and business requirements. We’ll discuss the challenges and pitfalls of cloud migration strategies and discuss ideas to improve the process.

Roundtable Topic: Total Technological Transformation: Maximizing on the Disruption
Description: Q & A Session
and
Roundtable Topic: Leveraging Cloud Scalability
Description: When we move to the cloud, we often look to replicate existing workflows that media companies shave developed over decades, workflows based on the technologies that were available at that time the workflows were implemented. Cloud offers us a chance to reimagine media workflows from the ground up, reinventing these processes and leveraging the immense compute and scale capabilities of the cloud. What might such reimagined workflows look like? We’ll discuss some innovative approaches to live production, post-production and playout that leverage the unique capabilities of the cloud.
and
Gold Showcase Topic: Clouds Eat Silos for Breakfast
Description: As media companies move to the cloud, the silos between live production, playout, transport and OTT are being removed. End-to-end workflows are being created. What does that look like and what is needed to make these really work?
