This week we’re producing the 2018 Devoncroft Executive Summit | Amsterdam at the Hotel Okura.

This is our inaugural event in Europe, building on seven years of successive growth at our events based in the United States.

Our approach when programming this event was to use the data we collect from our Big Broadcast Survey (BBS), which we’ve been publishing annually for the past decade to drive the Summit agenda.

The sheer size, scale, international reach, and longevity of Devoncroft’s Big Broadcast Survey would make it a unique proposition in any industry. In the media technology sector, the BBS is an absolutely unique resource that provides data and insight that does not exist anywhere else.

Using the insights derived from our Big Broadcast Survey data, we’re confident that we’ve programmed an event that offers our delegates a unique opportunity to hear from the right people, speaking about the right topics, at the right moment in time for the industry (in terms of the multiple technological and business model changes, which are happening right now).

For us, this journey started ten years ago with a dream and a survey.  We recognized that there was an opportunity to provide better, more relevant, and highly-actionable data to participants in the media technology sector.  That’s why we introduced the Big Broadcast Survey, and why we continue to collect data (in ten languages) each year from a global set of media technology executives.

So, we would like to express our gratitude to those people who participate in Devoncroft’s Big Broadcast Survey every year, and continue to provide their feedback and opinions about this ever-changing market.  We can’t do what we do without your input, and we hope that we deliver sufficient value back to the market to continue to earn the privilege of your time and opinions.

For the Devoncroft Executive Summit | Amsterdam, we’re very pleased by the industry-wide support we’ve received. In particular, we’d like to thank the talented, and otherwise very busy, people who have agreed to participate as speakers and panelists. The insight your experiential knowledge and ideas for best practice you share at the Summit, will undoubtedly prove invaluable to our delegates.

Here’s our speaker line-up for the event.  As I said, we feel very fortunate to have attracted the support of this impressive group of media technology thought-leaders.

Finally, we’d like to once again thank our sponsors and supporters of the 2018 Devoncroft Summit | Amsterdam.  Without their ongoing support, and belief in what we’re doing here at Devoncroft we wouldn’t be able to do what we do for the market.
