Advanced Systems Group (ASG) and The Studio-B&H Named Title Sponsors
MOUNTAIN VIEW: SVG has announced the dates for its second annual Silicon Valley Video Summit (SVVS), January 23, 2024 at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. Dedicated to the working needs of Big Tech and Bay Area broadcasters and video professionals, the event is again being title-sponsored by Advanced Systems Group (ASG) and B&H Photo.
The inaugural Summit drew 427 professionals from throughout the local live and studio TV production community and was highlighted by a SMPTE Keynote, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.
“I’m personally very excited about the next Summit”, says Dave Van Hoy, President of Co-Title Sponsor ASG. “It has been a career-long goal to create a forum for the Northern California video and media production community to come together to share knowledge and experiences. Last year’s Summit proved that this is valuable for all of the attendees, presenters, and sponsors.”
B&H Photo and its professional division the Studio will be hosting an expanded technology Pavilion this year, presenting innovative solutions to the Silicon Valley content creation community for the first time. “We are delighted to once again be a leading contributor to this essential platform as part of our long term commitment to support the Silicon Valley production community.” says the Studio-B&H Managing Director Michel Suissa. “Next year’s edition of SVVS will bring even greater content and a vastly expanded and diverse technology showcase.”
Peter Thordarson, former Chief Engineer Production, Microsoft Production Studios, has again been named Conference Chair. He adds, “Our desire to provide alignment with broadcast best practices is more evident than ever. With evolving methods and technologies of creation, distribution, and consumption of content, it’s more critical now than ever before that the corporate broadcast community has a venue and a voice — that’s why this annual Summit is so important.,”
The 2024 SVVS program will focus on how corporate video teams are working leaner and, as a result, relying more on innovative, real-time problem-solving tools, automation and – coming fast – AI. Hybrid cloud solutions will be a topic of special note, as well as IP for the corporate video market.
There will be two active conference stages producing double the amount of sessions at this year’s show, complemented by a host of programmed roundtable conversations and breakouts. The agenda will feature an expanded emphasis on live event and meeting technologies. Real-world applications of AI will be a consistent focus. An audio track is also being planned.
Co-Title Sponsor B&H is planning an extensive technology solutions Pavilion in the SVVS showcase area, demonstrating products and workflows to the local professional community, many for the first time.
This year’s program is again supported by the SMPTE San Francisco Chapter, and they are being joined this year by the AES San Francisco Chapter, the Virtual Event Group (VEG), and Alex Lindsay’s Office Hours.
