Debate at Streaming Media NYC conference May 20 with Quantum’s Erica Gruen
“I'm thrilled to be moderating a debate - yes, a debate! - featuring some of the biggest names in media and technology. Join us for a lively discussion and be a part of the conversation. This isn't just another conference—it's a catalyst for the future of media. Next is now!” declares Quantum Principal Erica Gruen about the 3-day conference hosted by Streaming Media NYC.
Erica will be herding opinionated cats on May 20th (4:30-5:15pm at the International Barclays Hotel on 111 E. 48th St.) on the debate topic of "RESOLVED: Social is not the equal of premium." As the lines between niche and mainstream media companies blur and YouTube emerges as the largest media channel on the planet, what truly constitutes premium content? And what makes the distinction meaningful for those with a stake in streaming?
The debaters are Stan Ruszkowski (President - The Boxoffice Networ), Nathan Guetta (CEO - 2E6E6), Steve Crombie (CEO/Founder - Totem) and Joseph Caporoso (President - Team Whistle).
