Streaming Media Europe

What Streaming Media Europe does

Streaming Media Europe is the European regional edition of the Streaming Media brand, operated by Information Today Inc., a privately held US-based diversified media publishing conglomerate headquartered in Medford, New Jersey. The company functions as a B2B trade publication and conference organizer serving streaming media professionals across Europe, with editorial coverage spanning live streaming, encoding/transcoding, OTT TV, content delivery networks, content protection, sports streaming, video advertising, and related infrastructure topics. Content is distributed through a multi-channel platform including the streamingmediaglobal.com website, a quarterly print and digital magazine offered free to qualified subscribers, email newsletters, social media properties, webinars, whitepapers, and video content hosted on YouTube.

The company's product portfolio comprises nine interlocking offerings: the Streaming Media Online Platform as the flagship digital property; Streaming Media Connect as the conference series (with events scheduled for May and August 2026); the Streaming Media Sourcebook as the annual vendor directory; the European Innovation Awards as the recognition program; the Streaming Media Magazine in print and digital; newsletters; guides and whitepapers; webinars; and conference video and tutorials. Underlying technology is a digital publishing and conference management stack operated within Information Today Inc.'s shared infrastructure, with no proprietary AI, API, or SDK assets disclosed.

Revenue is generated through three streams: digital advertising from streaming technology vendors (Zixi, Vindral, Synamedia, Bitmovin, Wowza and others listed in the Sourcebook), paid conference registration and sponsorship fees tied to Streaming Media Connect events, and a controlled-circulation magazine model where the free-to-qualified-subscribers distribution supports advertiser reach rather than subscription income. The audience spans streaming media professionals, sports rights holders and broadcasters, technology vendors and service providers, and D2C/OTT operators, with named editorial subjects including BBC, Comcast/Sky, and Swedish public broadcaster SVT.

Broad incumbents

• IBC (International Broadcasting Convention): Major European trade show and content platform for the broadcast, media, and streaming industry. While a substantially larger event, IBC's editorial site and conference compete for sponsorship dollars from the same vendor set Streaming Media Europe serves.
• Light Reading: Established B2B media brand covering the broader telecom and networking ecosystem, including streaming infrastructure and CDN. Adjacent audience of operator and infrastructure buyers; overlaps where streaming touches network architecture.

Direct peers

• Digital TV Europe: Long-running B2B trade publication covering the European broadcast, pay-TV, and OTT industry with news, features, and analysis. Direct competitor for advertising and sponsorship spend from the same vendor and broadcaster audience.
• TVBEurope: B2B media brand covering broadcast and streaming technology for the European market, with sister events tied to the IBC Show. Overlaps directly with Streaming Media Europe on vendor-facing news and product coverage.
• Fierce Video / FierceBroadcasting: B2B online publication covering video, broadcasting, and streaming technology markets with a newsletter-driven model. Targets overlapping vendor and operator audience and competes for the same digital advertising and event sponsorships.
• Streaming Media (US): The U.S. sister publication under the same Information Today Inc. parent, covering identical streaming media categories (live streaming, encoding, OTT, CDN, sports streaming) for the North American audience. Operates the same magazine, conferences, and Sourcebook format, making it the most direct peer.
• Digital Media Wire: U.S.-based B2B media outlet covering digital media, streaming, and online video business and technology. Comparable target audience of streaming vendors and platform operators, with overlapping editorial coverage.

Emerging players

• Dashboard (The Daily Wire / Streaming Observer): Digital streaming news publication focused on the streaming services industry, often covering OTT and CTV trends. Differentiates by service-side focus rather than vendor technology, but overlaps on streaming industry coverage.
• NexTV News (formerly DEG / Decentrix research): Online news property covering streaming, OTT, and CTV business and technology developments. Partial overlap with Streaming Media Europe\u2019s editorial coverage and competes for vendor announcements and analyst mindshare.

Others

• IABM (International Association of Broadcasting and Media): Industry association for broadcast and media technology suppliers, providing research, events, and a vendor directory. Not a direct editorial competitor, but overlaps structurally as a vendor-discovery and thought-leadency platform for the same customers.
