The international research firm will host the Digital Living Conference and Showcase, featuring new consumer research on cloud media and connected CE and an agenda with over 100 executives on June 28-30.

"Consumer demand for new connected experiences is so strong many are taking a DIY approach, with 14 percent of U.S. broadband households using PC-to-TV connections to watch online video," said Kurt Scherf, VP, principal analyst, Parks Associates.
