If you work in streaming or broadcast, you know the pattern. The moment your stack finally feels “settled,” a new format, platform, or three-letter acronym shows up and suddenly everyone acts like it was obvious all along.
That’s why media conferences still matter. Not for the slides (you’ve seen those), but for the hallway conversations, the “wait, how did you actually build this?” moments, and the quiet relief of realizing other teams are wrestling with the same problems.
We’ve put together a list of streaming, broadcasting, and media conferences worth your time this year the ones where you walk away with real ideas, useful connections, and at least one “okay, we’re not alone” moment.
