Streaming Made Easy Live 2026
Streaming Made Easy Live 2026: Where media meets tech, before IBC kicks off.
Five years of firefighting mode have made this industry excellent at reacting and worse at building. SME Live 2026 is the room where the conversations too big for a 45-minute panel actually happen.
📍 Rode Hoed, Amsterdam · September 10, 2026 · the day before IBC opens
What you get:
150+ senior executives from streaming platforms, broadcasters, FAST operators, telcos and technology vendors, curated at a strict 4:1 buyer-to-vendor ratio
No overlapping sessions, no speed-networking gimmicks
Structured breaks built for real conversation, closing with networking drinks
A pre-IBC head start: walk into RAI already knowing who to prioritize
Why this matters now:
Partnerships are the competitive advantage of this cycle, not scale. The executives shaping what's next won't be on a keynote stage, they'll be in a room like this one. 2025 sold out with a waitlist. 2026 moves to Rode Hoed and grows to 200, without diluting the curation that made it work.
Who it's for:
Content and platform leaders, distribution and telco execs, creator-economy operators, and streaming/ad-tech providers with real buying power. 85% of 2025 attendees were Director-level or above.
The room speaks for itself:
Past speakers and attendees have come from Netflix, YouTube, BBC, Sky, Prime, WBD, Canal+, Roku, Orange and Comcast.
