Hot Digital Video Trends for 2022

By Geoff Gordon, Vice-President of Global Marketing, MainConcept

Fri 28, 01 2022

Is it 2022 already? It doesn’t feel like just one year ago that we were planning for 2021. To quote one of my favorite movie lines (from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off), “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around occasionally, you could miss it.”

2022 is looking to quickly outpace the last few years. The beginning of the new year is the perfect time to look around at what we’ve accomplished and what we must look forward to. That’s why I am excited to host our first Coffee & Codecs discussion of the year centered around hot digital video trends for 2022.

Speakers

Our speakers are from IMG ArenaEndeavor Streaming and MainConcept, all companies that are part of Endeavor, an organization that touches all aspects of sports and entertainment. From the vanguard beginnings of the William Morris Agency to the advent of modern-day sports marketing by IMG to the bold formation of Endeavor, the Endeavor group of companies and their clients have been a force of innovation for over a century. The combined client roster of our speakers includes countless heavy hitters across sports and entertainment.
