Two days, 50+ speakers, 16 fireside chats and 10 panels. No way I can recap it all so I’ve taken the approach of taking one data point, one insight from each of the sessions I attended (I’ve missed a few of course so please share addl insights in the comment section) plus giving you access to full-length recaps of the 4 panels I had the pleasure of preparing for.

Let’s dig in.

This view never gets old

→ Shame we didn’t get data behind that statement. We’ll have to believe Justin but it’s interesting because it shows the flywheel behind free streaming for both viewers and platforms.

“Viewer expectations are not set by global players. »

Jonas Engwall, CEO - Bedrock
