"CONNECTIONS™ has been a key consumer technology event since 1996," said Stuart Sikes, President, Parks Associates. "The connected home has evolved over the past 20 years, driven by the spread of broadband, home networking standards, adoption of connected CE devices, and mobility and app usage. This week, CONNECTIONS™ will bring together industries of each part of the connected ecosystem to discuss the disruptors, trends, and mix of streaming services, software solutions, connected devices, and cloud services that are defining today’s IoT." “We have seen amazing innovations reach consumers over the past year, particularly related to entertainment,” said Brett Sappington, Senior Director of Research, Parks Associates. “Virtual reality, live streaming apps, and HDR are defining new experiences for consumers. Two-thirds of U.S. broadband households now subscribe to an OTT video service, and it has changed the way people consume media and even how they talk about their favorite shows. At CONNECTIONS™, we will examine the changes and their implications as consumers start to watch streams instead of channels.” Over 650 executives will attend CONNECTIONS™ from the following industries: Internet of Things, new media, digital entertainment and gaming, home networks, Internet and television services, software and middleware, smart home, digital health, insurance, mobile applications and services, consumer electronics, home control systems and security, technical support, and energy management. “Only CONNECTIONS™ offers information and networking opportunities relevant to all the players working to drive the next wave of connected solutions,” Sikes said.
