Some say the future of TV is the TV itself is relegated to just being “an app” that can run on any screen you own. Others believe the TV is king, and we’ll see a deluge of apps on smart TVs and second screens to enhance or even create new experiences. We can already see service providers like Comcast and Time Warner release apps on TVs, and on the flipside YouTube has their own lean back experience.

At the Streaming Media West show next week, (#smwest) come join a discussion that will address content, distribution, and consumer-facing challenges of TV in an app world. Lead by smart TV guru Jeremy Toeman, confirmed speakers include:

  • Moderator: Jeremy Toeman, CEO, Dijit
