The iMA Conference, taking place March 6-7 at the Austin Omni Downtown Hotel, will showcase how the industry can advance its public service mission with emerging technology. StreamGuys’ mission for the conference, in alignment with the iMA, is to demonstrate those possibilities given the financial challenges that public media face. StreamGuys will discuss new advancements in multi-platform delivery and targeted advertising for streaming media with attendees.
“Public broadcasters can rest assured that there are alternatives in the current marketplace not only for streaming content to many consumer devices, but for measuring, targeting and monetizing that content, as well” said Jason Osburn, executive vice president, StreamGuys, Inc. “We invite interested parties both inside and outside the public media space to attend this year’s iMA conference, and remain for the expansive emerging technology sessions, digital media experiences and live entertainment of the SXSW Interactive Festival.”
“iMA generates a great deal of inspiration and enthusiasm to embrace the changing technology landscape in public media,” said Jeannie Ericson, executive director, Integrated Media Association. “Anything we can do to generate discussion on advancing digital media and adopting new technologies to further the impact of public media is a boost to our industry. StreamGuys has been a long-time partner to public media and supporter of iMA, and it's a natural fit to involve them in this unique event.”
