StreamTV Europe has opened its call for speakers for its 2027 conference, which will take place in Lisbon from April 20–22. The event is expanding its programming to include a greater focus on creator platforms, sports, and vertical video alongside its traditional content, advertising, and technology pillars.
The inclusion of vertical video and creator platforms as core pillars signals a shift in how European B2B events are categorizing the streaming ecosystem. By moving these topics alongside traditional broadcast and telco aggregation, Forge is acknowledging that short-form and social-first content are no longer peripheral to the professional streaming stack. This expansion forces traditional technology providers to address interoperability between legacy OTT frameworks and creator-driven economies. As the industry faces continued consolidation, the focus on telco partnerships suggests a renewed push for aggregation as the primary solution to fragmented discovery. Watch for the November 23 speaker announcements to see which major platforms commit to these new content categories.
