DTG Summit 2012:
Digital Television: Now and Next
0930-1600 Friday 2 March 2012
The Congress Centre, Great Russell Street, London WC1B 3LS
As UK digital switchover nears completion, the Digital TV Group’s Summit 2012 will focus on the global development of the delivery of content via the Internet, the emergence of hybrid devices and the challenges of a post-switchover environment - including the benefits and impact of LTE and White Space technology.
Global industry leaders will discuss what the UK can learn from the latest international innovations in the delivery of content, services and applications through the Internet and ask how the UK can combine these with our world-leading broadcast technologies to create a truly brilliant hybrid TV experience.
The DTG Summit 2012 will be presented by leading Broadcast Journalist Sophie Raworth.
