Devoncroft Executive Summit: The Business of Media Technology

Renaissance Hotel | Amsterdam

 

 

The 2019 Devoncroft Executive Summit | Amsterdam is scheduled for Thursday September 12, 2019 from 12PM to 6:00PM.

Whether you’re a broadcast technology buyer or supplier, the Devoncroft Executive Summit | Amsterdam offers a unique opportunity to gain a 360-degree view of industry economics and the strategic drivers of technology investment.

We’ve worked hard to put together a fantastic line-up of media technology thought leaders, who will share their views on the most important commercial issues facing the industry.

The agenda (see below) draws on the most up-to-date industry market research and analysis from Devoncroft Partners, including our Big Broadcast Survey (BBS), which we’ve been publishing annually for the past decade.  The sheer size, scale, international reach, and longevity of Devoncroft’s Big Broadcast Survey make it a unique source of industry data that does not exist anywhere else.

Using these insights, we’ve programmed an agenda that offers delegates a unique opportunity to hear from the right people, speaking about the right topics, at the right moment in time for the industry.

     

 

We’re very pleased with the industry-wide support for the 2019 Devoncroft Executive Summit | Amsterdam.

In particular, we’d like to thank our speakers and panelists. The insight, knowledge, and ideas for best practice you share at the Summit, will undoubtedly prove invaluable to our delegates.
