OTT.X is delighted to launch “OTT.X Buzz”, a new webinar & podcast series featuring prominent panels of Industry leaders and pundits who will discuss timely current industry topics. Panelists will represent a cross-section of disciplines across the industry, creating a unique mix of perspectives and an interesting, informative and entertaining discussion. Rather than a single defined topic(s), panelists will use their expertise to take on the latest news, findings, and updates buzzing in the business of OTT. OTT.X Buzz sessions will air live on Wednesdays at 10:00 AM and be available via podcasts.
