A special focus on IPTV in India will take place on day two (November 16) of the event, which has been developed in association with the IPTV Forum India.
The show will also feature two post-conference workshops on November 17, offering day-long classes led by industry experts Ben Schwarz and Mihai Crasneanu, addressing the challenge of enriching the user experience, from a technical approach and a content-based approach.
Dubai-based RWN Trading marketing director Carol Prince said general GMs and F&B managers must think digital. “IPTV allows guests to access the internet so they can send emails or log onto Twitter, for example. It’s not just movies and games, hotels should look at IPTV as a revenue generator”.
