CONTENT DELIVERY SUMMIT is a new 1-day conference developed and chaired by Dan Rayburn with the purpose of bringing together content owners, infrastructure providers, and Wall Street to discuss the business and technology of delivering video online.

With hundreds of millions of dollars invested into video infrastructure providers in the past 2 years, the content delivery market experienced tremendous growth in the number of new vendors entering the market. With all of these vendors competing for much of the same business, customers need real-world insights and actionable advice on everything, from pricing to choosing the best delivery platform. But it doesn't stop there.

With delivering bits quickly becoming a commodity, what about all the other components of the video ecosystem that are becoming just as important as the delivery itself? Services such as content ingestion, transcoding, storage, content management, authentication, and reporting are playing an increasingly important role as higher-quality, longer-form content gets created and delivered to more platforms and more users.

With HD-quality video delivery and live broadcasting picking up steam, this also brings a new set of challenges as CDNs look to differentiate themselves from one another. And inside the industry, the debate still rages on about the best network architecture, the role of P2P technology and capacity planning for the future.

This is where the Content Delivery Summit comes in. Come hear from the major broadcasters, publishers, and content creators on their use of video delivery networks in todays environment. Learn what the infrastructure providers are building out for the future and hear what platforms and technologies they are investing in. Discuss the inevitable shakeout that is coming among the delivery vendors and examine what business models will and won't survive.

Content Delivery Summit has been created to bring together customers, vendors, analysts, and Wall Street to discuss and define where the video delivery industry is headed. Come share your insights, ideas, and experiences and get the knowledge you need to help navigate the ever-changing video delivery industry. This is the summit to attend to take home actionable advice and real tangible data that will help you choose the right technology, better understand customers needs, and provide the vision of where the business and technology of online video delivery are headed.
