ABOUT
OTT.X BUZZ is a webinar and podcast series designed to connect leaders, accelerate learning, and spark solutions across the streaming ecosystem.
Each session brings together senior industry executives and trusted pundits from across platforms, publishers, technology, advertising, and infrastructure to engage in candid, unscripted conversations about the stories, trends, and developments shaping OTT, CTV, and the broader streaming business.
Rather than centering on a single predefined topic, BUZZ panels react in real time to what’s buzzing in the industry—breaking news, new data, market shifts, and emerging challenges—creating dynamic discussions that reflect the realities leaders are navigating right now.
More than commentary, OTT.X BUZZ serves as a catalyst for connection, shared understanding, and action, helping the community identify common challenges, surface practical insights, and inform the work of OTT.X events, roundtables, and working groups aimed at solving real industry problems.
