Unboxing Intelligent Content in the context of connecting with audiences

Today, there are increasingly multiple outlets for content delivery, and leveraging content to locate, reach out to and engage with audiences in this dynamic landscape is becoming challenging.

• What are the new methods of delivery (including streaming, channels, online and in-game, etc.) that are being created using smart technology?

Winning the race with personalization

Some fourteen years ago, Guardian journalist Jemina Kiss wrote, “If web 2.0 could be summarized as interaction, web 3.0 must be about recommendation and personalization.”

Today, as we approach the digital decade and are set to enter Web 3.0, this statement couldn’t be more apt. As the world gears up to move past the ”content is king” era and make strides towards “personalized content is king”, intelligent content is set to rule the coming decade and beyond.

Create and pitch your own metaverse content and win at the 2022 NAB Show

Networking is at the core of any business looking for growth and scalability, and this is even more pertinent now. In a world forced into isolation for a good three years over global health pandemics and wars, networking has become a challenge for all sectors.

To help the media and entertainment industry come together and network like never before, the NAB show has come up with a unique concept called NABIQ. This networking session enables industry players to conceptualize metaverse content pitches to secure funding from willing VCs and investors.

This 90-minute facilitated challenge, forces industry experts and players to ask themselves the one golden question: what content would you create if you had unlimited funding. In NABIQ, each workshop will accommodate up to five teams of six participants each (paired randomly) who will compete for the winning solution.

Happening between 24 and 27th April, NABIQ encourages creators to ideate, innovate, prototype and pitch. 

The 2022 NAB Show also features a number of other networking opportunities, including peer-to-peer discussions, workshops, floor tours, and more. Find out about the networking opportunities, parties and meet-ups in our guide.
