MAY EVENTS: Road to ATSC 3.0
Our tentpole event this month is the 2018 ATSC Next Gen TV Conference, May 23-24 in Washington. Registration is now open.
Building on the theme of Next Gen TV activities from last month’s 2018 NAB Show, the “ATSC Next Gen TV Conference” begins with lunch on Wednesday, May 23, followed by reports on early ATSC 3.0 deployments in cities across the United States.
Plans for the first day of the conference also include a special report on the successful launch of ATSC 3.0 broadcasting in South Korea, as well as ATSC Implementation Team updates about Advanced Emergency Alerting, Personalization & Interactivity, and Conformance.
Television’s future and the commercial implications of ATSC 3.0 Next Gen TV technologies will be among the subjects covered during the business-focused program on May 24. Sessions will cover ATSC 3.0 and the future of advertising and audience measurement, the role of multichannel video program distributors, augmented and virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and more.
Keynote speakers will include Patrick Butler, President and CEO of America’s Public Television Stations; Dr. Jeffrey Cole, USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and Director of the Center for the Digital Future; and Sam Matheny, Chief Technical Officer of the National Association of Broadcasters.
The conference also will commemorate the 25th anniversary of the formation of the Digital HDTV Grand Alliance that brought together competing interests to create the world’s first all-digital TV broadcasting system and usher in the HDTV era. And, as always, a highlight of the annual conference will be the presentation of the ATSC’s highest technical honor, the Bernard J. Lechner Outstanding Contributor Award.
