Asia Video Summit 2018: A Report by Christophe Hochart, Founder & CEO of OONA TV


Leading digital strategist, Christophe Hochart, giving his perspective at the Asia Video Summit

The Hong Kong Intercontinental with its magnificent high octane panoramic views, was the perfect venue for the 2018 CASBAA summit entitled: The State of the Video Industry. - This was an electric get together where thought leaders who are the top the tree, shared their take on the incredible rocketing TV revolution that is taking the world by storm. It was also geared to make CASBAA, Asia Pacific's renowned trade association that oversees the video industry and ecosystem, more robust.

Running from the 29th October to 1st November, 2018, it put the spotlight on how this dynamic industry is changing, and how CASBAA is reinventing itself, and is set to increase its mission and scope in order to embrace Asia's all-encompassing video industry and ecosystem. Moreover, this transformation represents an exciting opportunity for this state-of-the-art trade association to pioneer and generate new creativeness. 

With 94 thought leaders including: Louis Boswell, CEO of the Asia Video Industry Association (AVIA); Gavin Buxton, Managing Director of SpotX; Tony Zameczkowski,VP of Business Development - Asia Pacific, Netflix; David Weiland, Executive Vice President, Asia, BBC Studios; and Greg Armshaw, Head of Sales, Brightcove; it was the perfect opportunity for 500-plus attendees to learn more about the success stories, challenges, disruption and consolidation transpiring within the industry, and how embracing change can drive success.

I personally enjoyed the overwhelmingly positive response from the session I took part in. - I validated how OONA OTT TV in Indonesia is disrupting with models that will help the media industry by 1. Growing within the market; and 2. Monetizing in a smart way that generates win-win situation for all concerned: the consumers, the telcoms, and the studios and content holders.

Like myself, everyone I spoke to, cannot wait for CASBAA'S Asia Video Summit 2019 - see you there!
