International market research firm announces sixth annual Future of Video will be hosted Nov 14-16 in Marina del Rey, CA

Market research firm Parks Associates today announced the topics for its sixth annual Future of Video, hosted at the Marina del Rey Marriott in Marina del Rey, CA, November 14-16, 2023. Future of Video sponsors include Adeia and FPT Software.

Parks Associates, recognized as the leading authority in media and entertainment research, reports that now only 37% of households subscribing to OTT services in the past year went directly through a service provider. The churn rate for OTT video services is holding steady at 47%.

“There is so much to talk about - direct subscription has been losing ground to aggregation, and bundling is becoming more important,” said Jennifer Kent, VP, Research, Parks Associates. “We are excited to announce our in-person event and focus on new advertising models in our upcoming June virtual session. We encourage industry players to submit to speak and join us for these important conversations.”  

Parks Associates is hosting a virtual Future of Video session June 15, “Evolving Ad Strategies - Ad-Supported OTT, Connected TV, and Beyond,” featuring industry leaders from Accedo, IRIS.TV, Origin Media, and Wurl. With virtual events throughout the year, leading up to the in-person conference in November, Future of Video brings together industry leaders sharing insight into the market conditions and dramatic changes taking place in entertainment services.
