12th HbbTV Symposium and Awards

London

14-15 November 2024

 

The 12th HbbTV Symposium and Awards on 14-15 November 2024 in London, UK, will provide a unique platform to present and discuss the latest developments in the connected TV industry.

The annual key industry summit, targeting platform operators, broadcasters, advertisers and adtechs, standards organisations and technology companies, will be co-hosted with Everyone TV. The joint venture owned and supported by the UK’s leading public service broadcasters BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 operates the free-TV platforms Freeview and Freesat. It has also recently launched the new Freely service which will allow viewers to stream live and on-demand TV for free, all in one place, available in the UK through the next generation of smart TVs.

Following the successful introduction of the new concept last year, the HbbTV Symposium will again consist of a traditional conference with keynotes, panels and roundtables on the first day. The second day will feature an unconference at which participants decide about the agenda, topics and discussions, actively shaping and driving the sessions and conclusions. Material related to the second day is made available in the Unconference Hub.

The event will also host the 7th edition of the HbbTV Awards, featuring a wide range of categories designed to acclaim best practice and excellence in the HbbTV community. The prices will be awarded at a glamorous ceremony in the evening of the first Symposium day.
