This session features presentations by Ron Yekutiel, Chairman, CEO of Kaltura, Kevin Yahl, President of ClickstreamTV, AJ McGowan, CTO of Unicorn Media, and Edgardo Nazario, VP of Products for Video Platform Solutions of Limelight Networks. While each of these providers have similar offerings, they all differentiate themselves by their video publishing platforms, analytics and monetization features, scalability, integration, pricing, strategy and market presence.

ClickstreamTV offers an easy to use Do-It-Yourself streaming platform with an affordable entry package starting at $59. Unicorn Media offers scalable solutions that center around simplifying video workflow and syndication. Limelight Networks offers both an online video platform (OVP) and content delivery network (CDN) through its acquisition of Delve Networks. Like many others OVPs, the Limelight Video Platform offers a cloud-based end-to-end solution to manage, deliver, publish and measure viewership.
