Consumer attention is a moving target, shaped by converging formats — like video podcasts and connected TV — and the sheer volume of options available to audiences. As media consumption splinters across screens, one thing is clear: the next great convergence isn’t happening on cable or broadcast —it’s happening in the apps that now anchor our living rooms. So what does it take to compete for the most precious resource of all: time and attention? This session brings together pioneers who helped define the current media era to unpack what’s next. From the collapse of traditional TV to the rise of super apps and AI-fueled personalization, we’ll explore how viewing behavior is consolidating as the ecosystem fragments — and what that means for the future of creators, platforms, and advertisers.
