    The inaugural edition of World OTT Show by Trescon set to strengthen the inevitable future of video streaming in Asia

    Having hosted some of the industry’s biggest tech conferences and high-level summits all over the world, Trescon is now venturing into the OTT space. World OTT Show will congregate renowned thought-leaders, subject matter experts, and technology innovators from Asia on 17 June 2021, in a constructive, open-dialogue, virtual environment.

    More than 400 million people now use OTT video streaming services across the Asia Pacific region, with over 69 per cent of video viewers in the region watch streaming videos at least once a week.

    “In 2021, the streaming providers in Asia have a massive opportunity to take their services to a global audience. Many of the conversations we have with some of the providers in this region are precisely about how we can scale their services offering beyond a regional play into a global one and I think we’ll start seeing a lot more of these regional Asian OTT services go global and build significant businesses for themselves outside their own borders,” said Paolo Cuttorelli, VP and GM at Evergent.

    As many consumers are forced to stay confined in their homes and on their electronic devices due to the Covid-19, OTT consumption across Asia has witnessed a surge like never before. It has become one of the fastest-growing media channels in the region grabbing the advertiser’s attention.

    “Southeast Asia’s video streaming market continues to experience massive growth and platform owners across verticals are placing huge investment bets. World OTT Show offers a platform to exchange varied perspectives between media, telecoms, and broadcast to explore this avenue of business in the new normal,” said Mithun Shetty, CEO of Trescon.

    The conference is designed to explore the endless possibilities of OTT products that are streamlined to focus on user interfaces, user behavior; enhanced streaming and storage technologies, and generating revenue through streamlined subscriptions.

    Some of the powerful voices in the industry to share their expertise on OTT Monetization, Content OTT planning, Audio OTT, CX for OTT, and much more, include:

  • Leading Autonomous Cyber AI Powerhouse Darktrace Joins World Cyber Security Summit -Africa

    Leading Autonomous Cyber AI Powerhouse Darktrace Joins World Cyber Security Summit -Africa

    The first company to apply AI to the challenge of cyber security, Darktrace, will feature at Trescon’s virtual edition of the World Cyber Security Summit on May 24 2021. With a special focus on Africa, WCSS will aim to gather over 300 global online participants including Africa’s leading government authorities, top cyber security solution providers and senior-level decision-makers from enterprises to share insights on Africa’s budding cyber security market.

    Among the top technology leaders and speakers who will join the global conversation will be Mariana Pereira, Director of Email Security Products at Darktrace. As a Director at Darktrace, she works closely with the development, analyst, and marketing teams to advise technical and non-technical audiences about bolstering their organizations’ cyber resilience with leading AI technology.

    “We are delighted to join the World Cyber Security Summit as official cyber security partner, to discuss how organizations around the world can address their security challenges with cutting-edge innovation. Against the backdrop of a global shift in the way that companies operate, demand for Autonomous Cyber AI solutions has soared. We look forward to showing our the power of artificial intelligence in fighting sophisticated email threats at the summit. Our AI innovations protect the workforce and data of over 4,700 organizations globally from sophisticated attackers, by detecting, investigating and responding to cyber-threats in real time — wherever they strike,” stated Mariana Pereira.

    In her session at World Cyber Security Summit she will be sharing her insights on the topic ‘Faking It: Stopping Impersonation Attacks with Cyber AI’ and will further aim to explore how today, 94 per cent of cyber-threats still originate in the inbox. Impersonation attacks are on the rise, as AI is increasingly being used to automatically generate spear-phishing emails, or “digital fakes”, that expertly mimic the writing style of trusted contacts and colleagues. Humans can no longer distinguish real from fake on their own – businesses are increasingly turning to AI to distinguish friend from foe and fight back with an autonomous response. In an era when thousands of documents can be encrypted in minutes, ‘immune system’ technology takes action in seconds – stopping cyber-threats before damage is done.

    According to Mithun Shetty, CEO of Trescon, the summit will essentially explore how African enterprises and governments are leading an increased effort to strengthen the internet infrastructure and improve the solutions and aid provided by the software industry in a bid to protect its citizens from cyber attacks in the future. He said, “We are extremely honoured to feature Darktrace as the Official AI Cyber Security Partner for the event. Darktrace is vehemently modernizing its marketing technology and customer experience. We are enthusiastic to learn more about how their solutions can drive the future of African cyberspace at World Cyber Security Summit.” He further added, “The summit will feature regional and international use-case scenarios, keynotes, panel discussions, tech talks and more from leading technology stakeholders converging from key sectors like Government think-tanks, Healthcare, Banking and Finance; to name a few.”

    About Darktrace

    Darktrace is a leading autonomous cyber security AI company and the creator of Autonomous Response technology. It provides comprehensive, enterprise-wide cyber defense to over 4,700 organizations in over 100 countries, protecting the cloud, email, IoT, traditional networks, endpoints and industrial systems.

    Blockchain Ireland 2021: Blockleaders’ founder Jillian Godsil to speak on ‘Why Blockchain needs Women’

    Now in its third year, Blockchain Ireland is hosting a week-long series of digital events to celebrate and educate the Irish audience on Blockchain, a truly transformational technology. This year the theme is: Blockchain: Foundation of Trust. Blockchain is most often recognised as the technology that underpins Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

    Jillian Godsil, co-founder and editor in chief of Blockleaders says: “I frequently speak on a global basis on why Blockchain needs Women and I am delighted to address this issue on home soil. While blockchain and cryptocurrency are one of the most dynamic and exciting industries today, there is sadly a huge dearth of women represented in this sector. Blockchain is too important to be left to men alone.”

    The Blockchain Ireland week runs from May 24 until May 27 and will offer digital events across the country covering social impact and public services, sustainability, start-ups and innovation, enterprise, developers and more. There is an impressive array of some X Speakers drawn from the World Economic Forum, the European Commission, Irish government, industry, academia, entrepreneurs, and the indigenous technology sector.

    The line of up international speakers from Africa, Asia, Australia, and the United States will join speakers from Ireland to speak on use cases and experiences from craft brewing and bloodstock sales, to green energy and agri-food traceability.

    The event is organised by Blockchain Ireland which is a non-profit organisation of state agencies, corporates, academics, and industry professionals, is working to share insights and expertise and to promote blockchain technology in Ireland.

  • Blockchain and Liberty for All

    Blockchain and Liberty for All

    Broadcast live from Washington DC, June 18-19, 2021, with contributions from chapters around the globe, GBA will virtually present its annual state of the union to the world. The GBA global leadership team will present their blockchain results so far and discuss where we are headed for the next decade.

    The featured Keynote speaker, Dr. Robert Brown will share his wisdom gained from decades of working with world leaders, industry titans, and civil rights leaders. The Washington Post called him a “World Class Power Broker”. Just some of his many accomplishments include:
    – Key advisor to the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
    – Involved in the Robert Kennedy campaign
    – Special Assistant to President Richard Nixon
    – Close friend and confidant of Nelson Mandela
    – Consulted with many prominent US corporations on race relations and crisis management
    – Worked on the committee that established the legislation creating the Office of Minority Business Enterprise within the US Department of Commerce
    – He signed the documents that increased funding for historical black colleges & universities under President Nixon
    – Serves on the boards of numerous universities and corporations
    – He holds eleven honorary doctorate degrees from prestigious institutions of higher learning.

    Dr. Brown has handled communications and race relations during pivotal moments of the civil rights movement. His ability to build bridges between Democrats and Republicans during the Civil Rights heyday, makes him an exceptional choice for blockchain leaders who will face inevitable backlash as this technology revolutionizes the landscape for many in power. How are we to move forward in a respectful and mutually beneficial manner?

    As blockchain technology continues to disrupt every industry, GBA influencers will need to hear the lessons learned from this icon of history.

    The Government Blockchain Association, (GBA), is honored to have Dr. Brown as a keynote speaker for Blockchain and Liberty for All.

    “Political freedom must be accompanied by economic freedom for people to be truly free. Blockchain Technology is a new frontier in the economic landscape,” says Gerard Dache, Executive Director, GBA.

We hope you’ll join us again this May as we meet to honor mothers and discuss motherhood at our May, “In Moms We Trust” Summit.
