"If technology removes repetitive work, reduces travel, or allows teams to do more with the same resources, that's progress. But efficiency and innovation aren't always the same thing. The question that really interests me is: what can we now do that we couldn't do before?"

"The benefits of leveraging AI in personalising the CTV discovery experience and facilitating fruitful content searches are considerable, but so are the costs. Are there ways that OTT services and platforms can manage or minimise those costs, such as only enlisting AI for more complex queries? Dataxis' Ophelie Boucaud, TiVo's Chris Ambrozic, Gracenote's Ashok Bania, and Future Today's Alok Ranjan discuss token conservation, handling conversational and non-conversational queries, and the "Swiss Army knife approach" in this clip from Streaming Media Connect 2026."

"As streaming consumers increasingly gravitate toward multiview sports and multiscreen experiences that combine content from phones and CTVs and other devices, does lack of sync across devices or different feeds or content sources threaten to scuttle or detract from the seamlessness of that experience? Roku's Margret Schmidt, SVT Play's Annika Bidner, Hub Entertainment Research's Shannon McKenzie, and Chris Pfaff Tech Media's Chris Pfaff discuss various scenarios in which sync is more or less critical in this clip from Streaming Media Connect 2026."

"In this clip from her keynote fireside chat at Streaming Media Connect 2026, Verimatrix's Maria Malinkowitsch offers a snapshot of live-streaming piracy in 2026, what it's costing major sport rightsholders, why the fragmentation of sport rights and the cost burden on fans is making the industry susceptible to pirates, and how the industrialisation of illegal streaming and the rise of "piracy as a service" are adding fuel to the fire and making antipiracy efforts more challenging than ever."
