"Within a decade, video services delivered over broadband networks will be firmly established as an alternative platform to digital satellite, terrestrial and cable transmission....Television will become more like the web, as scheduled broadcast channels are displaced by a choice of millions of download and on-demand programmes.... In this new and massively fragmented environment, control will flow from the supplier to the consumer, as viewers construct their personalised schedules from a vast array of international providers, and watch programmes whenever and wherever they want." (IPTV: Broadcast to Broadband, The Network Revolution. InformITV report, UK, 2005)

“Prime time is now my time, prime time is all the time.” (Jonathon Miller, CEO of AOL)

The Broadcast Summit will explore, discuss and debate the interface between television and digital delivery that will be the reality for broadcasters and the consumer over the next decade.

It is an exciting time, with digital delivery increasingly offering consumers a relationship to audio visual materials that previously has been limited to music – the chance to flexibly and indeed creatively interact with the moving image – to file share, to mix, collage, edit – to control their consumption rather than be controlled.

Following on from Crossover Australia, this one-day symposium will showcase some of the best practice models globally that are highly successful in repositioning analogue broadcasters into ground breaking digital deliverers and are simultaneously bringing their audiences with them.

Featuring national and international speakers from BBC, ABC, SBS, Yahoo!7, Internode, Telstra and many more, the Broadcast Summit will explore the creative opportunities and challenges that this new and active relationship with the audience provides.
