International market research firm announces sixth annual Future of Video will be hosted Nov 14-16 in Marina del Rey, CA

DALLAS, June 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Market research firm Parks Associates today announced the topics for its sixth annual Future of Video, hosted at the Marina del Rey Marriott in Marina del Rey, CA, November 14-16, 2023. Future of Video sponsors include Rapid Response Monitoring and FPT Software.

Parks Associates, recognized as the leading authority in media and entertainment research, reports that now only 37% of households subscribing to OTT services in the past year went directly through a service provider. The churn rate for OTT video services is holding steady at 47%.

"There is so much to talk about - direct subscription has been losing ground to aggregation, and bundling is becoming more important," said Jennifer Kent, VP, Research, Parks Associates. "We are excited to announce our in-person event and focus on new advertising models in our upcoming June virtual session. We encourage industry players to submit to speak and join us for these important conversations."
