A Unique Conference Exploring The Technology and Challenges of Operating A Streaming Platform
but, SEGMENTS isn't like other conferences!
SEGMENTS is a forum for people to connect about running a streaming service. You can share the technologies that excite you, the day-to-day challenges you may face keeping viewers happy, and know that the people in the room are probably excited just as much (because more likely than not, others in the room are also working on the same thing).
Our conference isn’t a forum where only the CEO or the next wiz-kid with splashy slides and goofy name for their startup get to speak. It’s a place where everyday people, working on streaming come together. If you’re working in streaming operations, so are we! We’d be excited for you to come and participate in this conference devoted specifically to streaming operations.
You may have applied or spoken at other conferences. But just know that our process is simple: we’re gathering the names and topics of people who are willing to be part of SEGMENTS
So if you think this sounds interesting all you have to do is give us your name, email, affiliation, and a general description of the operations-related area you’d like to talk about. We have a bunch of volunteers that, after all the presentations have been submitted, will help determine the final list of presentations.
So what are we looking for?
SEGMENTS presentations are usually from 15-18 minutes long and follow a standard format:
- I had (or saw) a problem
- Here’s how I tried to address it
- And here was the outcome
Where Does Your Presentation Fit?
understanding where it fits can help our selection committee
SEGMENTS is chunked into “sections”. Within each of the sections, presentations address a part of the streaming workflow.
For example, let’s say you are interested in sharing how a particular standard can be applied to Encoding. So your presentation would fall into the Technology and Standards section and the Manipulation part of the workflow. We try to keep all of the sections balanced by including presentations that address different parts of the workflow so that there is something for everyone!
wondering what to speak about?
A dash of hands-on, a healthy dose of technology, and a way to possibly solve a challenge...no matter how outlandish!
Many of our presentations focus on addressing possible solutions to real-world streaming challenges such as scaling for live, addressing latency within the workflow, and putting a stop to content theft. But there’s no right or wrong topic. So long as your presentation focuses on solving real-world challenges in operating a streaming platform, will give it due consideration.

About the Streaming Video Technology Alliance
Comprised of members from across the video ecosystem, the Streaming Video Technology Alliance is the global technical association that works to solve critical streaming video challenges in an effort to improve end-user experience and adoption. The organization focuses on three main activities: first is to educate the industry on challenges, technologies, and trends through informative, publicly-available resources such as whitepapers, articles, and e-books; second is to foster collaboration among different video ecosystem players through working groups, quarterly meetings, and conferences; third is to define solutions for streaming video challenges by producing specifications, best practices, and other technical documentation.
