"The connected entertainment market is thriving with monetization opportunities, and TV Connect is the ideal event to discuss the technologies that play a key role in that transformation," said Paul Molinier. "My session will explain how a cloud PaaS approach enables operators to evolve rapidly in order to handle new services, new business models, and new types of end-devices without disruption."

Chem Assayag will join other industry experts to discuss whether platforms built for connected entertainment can easily be repurposed for the smart home, the premise of device adaptability, and how the growth of IoT devices in the home affects content and data security. He will also examine ways that the entertainment industry can take advantage of synergy of developments in IP and cloud technology in both IoT and connected entertainment.
