OTT.X X Fronts

2023 OTT.X XFRONTS


OTT.X will hold the second annual X-FRONTS (THE FRONTS FOR FAST) on May 23 & 24, 2023 at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles California.

The OTT.X X-FRONTS will be a two-day exchange for media buyers to learn about the booming AVOD & FAST ad market and explore one of a kind opportunities provided by prominent and up-and-coming AVOD and FAST platforms, networks and channels. Participation is free for all qualified media buyers.

Presentations by FAST platforms, channels and publishers will include first look details about lineups, content promotion, viewer demographics, upcoming plans for the year and advertising opportunities.

The conference programming will educate media buyers on the ins and outs of the AVOD & FAST landscapes via a series of panels, presentations, research findings, and interactive roundtable discussions focused on the growth of FAST and how it’s being utilized to get the most out of advertising spends, as well as revenue opportunities, operational issues, and projections for the future.

In addition to the pitches and presentations, meeting spaces, both private and semi-private, will be available for planned or ad-hoc meetings between buyers and sellers.
