“There is already strong demand for sponsorship opportunities at this year’s HbbTV Symposium and Awards. London is an excellent location for exchange on the latest industry developments and the UK’s vibrant connected TV community will greatly contribute to an inspiring, exceptional event,” said Vincent Grivet, Chair of the HbbTV Association.
The HbbTV Symposium and Awards 2024, which targets platform operators, broadcasters, advertisers and adtechs, standards organisations and technology companies, will take place at Church House. The prestigious event and conference venue in the heart of Westminster in central London will provide a first-class base for conference attendees, sponsors, exhibitors and networking.
Details on the sponsoring packages at the HbbTV Symposium and Awards 2024 and the preceding preview and demo events can be found in the Call for Sponsors. Interested companies are encouraged to secure their commercial arrangements quickly as the opportunities are limited, ensuring great visibility for the participating partners. Early bird offers with reduced rates are available until 30 June 2024.

Following the successful introduction of the new concept last year, the HbbTV Symposium will again consist of a traditional conference with keynotes, panels and roundtables on the first day, followed by the glamourous HbbTV Awards ceremony in the evening. The second day will feature an unconference at which participants decide about the agenda, topics and discussions, actively shaping and driving the sessions and conclusions.
About the HbbTV Association
Hybrid broadcast broadband TV (or "HbbTV") is a global initiative developing a specification enabling the delivery of advanced and interactive TV and entertainment services to consumers through a combined use of both broadcast and broadband networks. The HbbTV specification is developed by industry leaders to improve the video experience of consumers on connected TV sets, set-top boxes and multiscreen devices. The HbbTV specification uses elements of existing specifications from other standards including OIPF, CEA, DVB, MPEG-DASH and W3C. With the incorporation of activities from the Open IPTV Forum (OIPF) in 2014 and Smart TV Alliance in 2016, HbbTV is able to address service providers and technology suppliers for IPTV services as well as the combined scope of broadcast and over-the-top (OTT) services.
HbbTV is organised as a non-profit association registered in Switzerland and has around 80 members which include all global TV manufacturers, the large European broadcasters and TV platforms as well as a vast array of global technology and chipset vendors. More information: www.hbbtv.org
