Our annual conference, OTT Question Time Live, returns in January 2026 and will focus on two major themes.
#1. In-Trays & Out-Trays
To get a sense of where the industry is at, we’ll be asking our speakers, panellists, sponsors, and, of course, audience, to share what’s top of their in-tray and what they hope to deliver over the next 12 months. To get a head start, we’ve created a short, anonymous survey below. It takes just 5 minutes to complete and your input will help shape the debate in the run-up to the event.
#2. Going Vertical
The second theme is Going Vertical. This refers not only to the rise of vertical content (short-form, mobile-first, portrait video), but also to the way OTTQTL26 will bring together leaders from the same function across different organisations – marketers, audience developers, UI/UX designers, lawyers, product managers, technologists, strategists and more. By comparing “vertical” perspectives across companies, we’ll explore how priorities align, diverge and shape the future of streaming.
Thanks in advance for taking part. Your answers will remain anonymous, and highlights will be shared with the community in the run-up to OTTQTL26.
