Synacor's Michael Bishara to Participate in Next TV Summit, June 24, Los Angeles
June 24 2014 - 7:50AM
Synacor Inc. (Nasdaq:SYNC), the leading provider of next-gen
startpages, homescreens, award-winning TV Everywhere solutions and
cloud-based Identity Management (IDM) services, across multiple
devices for cable, satellite, telecom and consumer electronics
companies in the U.S. and abroad, today announced its SVP of
Product and GM of TV Everywhere, Michael Bishara, will be speaking
on the "Technology Improving the TV, IPTV and OTT Experience" panel
at Next TV Summit at 9:00 a.m. PT on Tuesday, June 24, at the Loews
Santa Monica Beach Hotel.
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, TV Everywhere and Cloud ID Auto Authentication
offerings, will participate in a discussion around the subscriber
experience when accessing TV and video content on-the-go. Panel
participants from Broadway Systems, Ericsson, Jinni, Parrot
Analytics, and Piksel will offer insights into what technologies
need to be implemented to make the consumer experience around TV,
IPTV and OTT dazzling, engrossing, easy and fun, not to mention,
monetize-able.
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 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, VideoNuze VideoSchmooze and Digital
Hollywood's 2014 Media Summit.
Bishara and his team are continuing to innovate in the TV
Everywhere space, delivering marquee solutions for pay-TV providers
and content programmers. Synacor recently launched its Cloud ID
Auto Authentication solution and reported a dramatic drop in TV
Everywhere abandonment, heading toward zero percent (compared to a
typical TVE abandonment rate of approximately 50 percent).
And recently at industry events, Synacor showcased its newest
developments in TV and TV Everywhere, including the industry's
first iOS app to combine all-in-one functions of bill pay,
upgrading services and TV Everywhere content consumption (announced
earlier with Suddenlink). Also on display were Synacor's latest
innovations in next-gen start experiences and an early glimpse at
Synacor's customized TV and OTT content and services for Android™
tablets. Synacor's Framework for Android turns a single tablet into
a multiuser device delivering a collection of favorite TV content,
apps and services, depending upon the user.
