Parks Associates is a diamond media partner for TV Connect EurAsia East Europe 2012 (Formerly IP&TV Forum EurAsia East Europe).

The Future of TV is Now – and we’re taking our events to the future. The sixth annual IP&TV Forum EurAsiaEastEurope held in Istanbul is moving on. We have witnessed rapid movement in the TV delivery industry in the past few years putting unlikely players together. This convergence has led to amalgamation of activities between internet service providers, telecom operators, content producers, cable and satellite providers as well as TV set manufacturers. The TV ecosystem has created a level playing field for creatives and technology developers alike to bring the next generation TV experience and introduce services like pause, rewind, catch up and fast forward in the linear TV package. Taking from this development, we are now rebranding the IP&TV Forum EEEA to TV Connect EurAsia East Europe 2012.

Parks Associates is supporting Multimedia Home Gateways Conference.

Following on from last year’s successful debut, CSI magazine will be organising and hosting a second conference dedicated exclusively to the home gateways. This remains one of the only events in the calendar that objectively and independently analyses the value of these devices – for consumers and the industry ecosystem – and their future potential.

On the one hand, the connected home is becoming a reality, on the other, the proliferation of internet enabled devices, OTT services and cloud-based systems are putting an increasing question mark over operator controlled set-top boxes, Walled Gardens and other traditional broadcast and telco approaches. The emergence of home gateways has to be placed inside this context, which this summit will critically evaluate.
