"The pay-TV industry is seeing an acceleration in the rate and scope of change. For operators to maintain their relevancy and differentiation, they must embrace new business and user consumption models," said Fleury. "At the NexTV CEO summit, I'll discuss why fast and efficient adoption of new technologies, such as RDK and cloud SaaS platforms, combined with next-generation development and operations methodologies are essential factors for success, now more than ever."

During the panel, Fleury will explain the challenges facing operators in today's multi-device pay-TV environment and how a fusion of traditional video and new OTT applications can deliver a differentiated unified user experience. The panel will also explore new video consumption models, which are designed to help differentiate operators from the competition. Strategies for increasing the value of content through technology will be discussed, including ways to enhance the end-user experience; ensure highly effective merchandizing and promotions; and deliver new apps, devices and experiences at web speed.
