in the "Multi-Screen Universe: TV, Tablets, Broadband, Smartphones
and IPTV" panel at Digital Hollywood's 2014 Media Summit at 12:30
p.m. ET on Tuesday, March 4, McGraw-Hill Building, New York City.
A TV Everywhere visionary, innovator and pioneer, Michael
Bishara, largely credited as a force behind the development and
successful launch of HBO GO and now Synacor's award-winning,
next-gen TV and TV Everywhere offerings, will participate in a
discussion around the implications of an "all video, all the time"
world. Panel participants will offer insights into different
strategies for connected TV technology and content in a multiscreen
environment and discuss how the TV Everywhere-friendly universe
might evolve.
Other speakers in the "Multi-Screen Universe: TV, Tablets,
Broadband, Smartphones and IPTV" panel include Yoav Schreiber,
Cisco; Scott Campbell, SAP America Inc.; Noah Levine, Adobe;
William Frantz, Qualcomm; Frank Childs, Akamai; and moderator Rick
Doherty, The Envisioneering Group.
Prior to his current position, Bishara was senior vice
president, HBO Broadband/ Digital Group where he was responsible
for the overall strategy, development and rollout of broadband
products, including industry benchmark HBO GO. Before HBO, Bishara
worked at Time Inc. and AT&T in marketing and product
leadership roles. Michael was recently named to CableFAX's 2014
Digital Hot List and Broadcasting & Cable's 2013 Digital
All-Stars list and is a heavily sought-after speaker, having
recently presented at NextTV Summit, OnScreen Media Summit,
Streaming Media East, TV of Tomorrow Show 2013, CableFAX TV
Innovation Summit, Variety Entertainment and Technology Summit
Co-Produced With Digital Hollywood, NYC Television Week and
VideoNuze VideoSchmooze.
Bishara and his team are continuing to innovate in the TV
Everywhere space and develop marquee solutions for pay-TV providers
across the country. For example, Synacor launched its Cloud ID Auto
Authentication solution during Sochi and reported a dramatic drop
in TV Everywhere abandonment, coming in under 10 percent (compared
to a typical TVE abandonment rate of approximately 50 percent).
