Online Video Strategies is the only event targeted at attendees for whom video is not the core business, but who are using video as part of their internal or external communications strategy. As such it complements Streaming Media Europe by offering practical, application-based sessions that avoid the technical and industry trend discussions of the main Streaming Media Europe conference.

Online Video Strategies provides real-world advice and practical guidance to help organisations from all sectors – FMCG, publishing, travel and leisure, government,education, and small and medium-sized business of all types – understand how to build a more effective video communications strategy, create more impactive video communications, and use video to generate measurable returns.
