Perhaps no other part of our lives has been transformed more by technology over the last ten years than how we care for ourselves and how we care for others. From exercising to eating healthy to reducing stress to monitoring our bodies for signs of trouble, technology has empowered us all to eat better, see better, hear better, sleep better, and live longer. If your company has a product or service that helps people lead healthier, happier, more fulfilling lives, we welcome you to showcase it at the Techfluence Health, Fitness, and Wellness Summit & Expo.

Parks Associates is supporting OTT Virtual Summit.

Join AVIA at the OTT Virtual Summit which will be held from 29 March – 1 April. The goal is to assess both the current reality as well as the future prospects of the video streaming industry. Has the pandemic accelerated development or hindered business opportunities? To what degree is the industry going direct to consumer or is partnering with telcos more important to get critical mass? And what do the business deals look like in that supply chain?

These and so many more questions will be covered as we look forward to another exciting but most definitely challenging year of streaming ahead!

Since then, concerns about the Internet’s ability to handle the increase in lockdown-driven traffic seem to have been a huge concern.

The event addresses -

1. What challenges did the ISPs see during the Pandemic?

2. What opportunities did the Corona crisis create for the ISPs?

Jennifer Kent, Vice President of Research, Parks Associates, will be speaking on the panel, The Next Big Thing: Home as the New Headquarters, on January 12, 2021, at 2:15 PM CST.

It took a pandemic to make our homes the center of work, education, shopping, entertainment, and health and fitness — not just a retreat. Much of this new home-centrism will stick, while some will unbend to the way it was. We’ve seen a glimpse of what technology can do to enhance the at-home experience — will it be enough to keep a house as headquarters?
