Connected TV World Summit

Overview

Connected TV World Summit is an annual industry event focused on the global TV and premium video market, especially connected TV, OTT, and streaming. It is presented as Adwanted Events’ established No. 1 thought-leadership event for the sector and is positioned around improving TV as both a product and a business.²³

History

The event was launched in 2010, when professional video streaming to the television set was still a relatively new market opportunity and technical challenge.² It has since developed into a recurring international summit for the TV distribution and premium video ecosystem.³ The 2026 edition is branded and hosted through Adwanted Events, indicating it sits within Adwanted’s events portfolio.²

Manufacturing

This is an events and conference brand rather than a physical-product company, so there is no manufacturing activity. Programming, sponsorship, and event production are organized through Adwanted Events rather than in-house manufacturing or outsourced production of goods.²

Notable Products

Reputation

The summit is widely described by peers and event listings as a leading or number-one thought-leadership forum in its category.¹²³ Its main strengths are its long running history, senior-industry focus, and relevance to TV distribution and premium video professionals.²³ The available sources are promotional, so independent criticism is limited; the event appears to be primarily valued for networking and sector-specific discussion rather than a consumer-facing product.
