5G AND ITS TRANSFORMATIONAL PROMISES
4.00pm

The	Reality	Behind	5G
TV industry has been transformed by the emergence of digital technology and the internet. TV and video
delivery platforms technologies are becoming increasingly complex. What is the market trend and what
is the road map for the technology changes in broadcast and media arena? What does 5G means to the
broadcast and media industry?

4.20pm

ATSC3.0:	Converging	Digital	Terrestrial	Transmission	into	5G
Digital Terrestrial Transmission (DTT) has lost relevance, isolated from the mobile broadband world.
ATSC 3.0, integrated into 5G, provides broadcasters, carriers and consumers a buffer free, pixelating
free experience. Adding mobile broadcast tuners to smartphones brings a new paradigm of content
distribution, disaster alerting and video offload.

The	5G	Saga:	What	Will	It	Mean	for	Content,	Distribution	and	Aggregation?
More than just a faster mobile data connection, 5G reinvents connectivity. In this session, panelists
would discuss how 5G would enable new types of remote productions, and coverage of more live
events, news and sports in higher 4K/HDR quality, and it will also revolutionise the way consumers
receive content, combining broadcast, OTT and data to create a seamless experience regardless of
network or device.

Security:	Will	We	Get	Better	at	Fighting	Piracy	-	The	Never-Ending	Battle
As high quality content (such as 4K UHD) and advanced streaming technology become increasingly
available worldwide, pirates can easily illegally acquire and redistribute content. This global threat does
not discriminate; it affects content owners, broadcasters and operators. How can the media industry
shift the evolution of content consumption in their favor and combat the threat of piracy?

FUTURE	OF	WORK	&	INNOVATION

AI	Demystified:	Case	Study
At its core, artificial intelligence analyzes data to support informed decisions and predictions.
However, its ability to do things faster, more efficiently and more precisely than humans has caused
it to become sensationalized and mysterious. This session will explain not only its vast capabilities
but also its limitations. Learn why good design principles must underpin AI development so that
artificial intelligence and human intelligence can work together for maximum benefit, and so AI can be
appropriately regulated. Most applications of AI will require specific guidelines, to prevent regulation
from being either be too general to have effect, or too strong so that it slows or prevents AI adoption.
Dr. Sun will leave the audience with some ideas of what we can expect from AI, and why it will neither
make the world perfect nor destroy it, but rather help us to continuously move forward, with much left
to be explored and discovered.

	

Dr.	Min	Sun,	Chief	Artificial	Intelligence	(AI)	Scientist,	Appier

Crowdsourced	Threat	Intelligence	
As our world becomes increasingly interconnected, the critical need for cybersecurity for protecting
consumers and organizations of all industries from fraudulent transactions and malicious threats has
become one of the key challenges of our era. During this discussion, executives from various industries
will discuss how Blockchain security affects end users worldwide, as well as the importance of
cybersecurity.
Panellists:
*	 John	Kirch,	Chief	Evangelist,	Uppsala	Security

Session	Keynote:	How	AI	will	Disrupt	Today's	Innovation	Practices
Innovation offices and teams need innovation. Practices like Design Thinking have reached a plateau.
Corporate innovators are challenged by the speed and complexity of technical change and AI is moving
faster than a speeding bullet. Thus, AI exploitation is not understood by most enterprises. This talk will
highlight how AI is poorly understood and how it is under appreciated. Due to its inherent cognitive
automation, AI is a powerful general purpose tool that can drive new R&D, make discoveries and
execute product rollouts faster than humans, besides replacing human diligence. The effects of AI are
more potent than we could imagine.
Despite the rich opportunities, most corporate technical leadership are not able to efficiently manage Big
Data and they struggle to deploy advanced Deep Learning AI systems e.g. those that could comprehend
text and images to save on manpower costs, derive insights and could hence step up the automation
of innovation delivery. Unsurprisingly, AI projects are often failing. Although, there are also some
successful ones, what works today, may not work tomorrow. Bleak as it sounds, a few companies
will eventually master AI, transforming innovation to be a less mysterious and much cheaper process.
These will be the first movers in the AI First economy and this is unfolding as we speak.
Professor	Yu	Chien	Siang,	Chief	Innovation	&	Trust	Officer,	Amaris.AI	
Unlocking Experience Insights with Design Thinking : From ChatBots to VoiceBots
Have you ever used an Omni Channel solution with AI? Why not thinking to some ChatBot evolution,
where the customer engages with contact center by phone? But this time the customer is presented
with a Voice Robot engine - a VoiceBot indeed - capable of recognising the customer voices, and get
back to them, just like a Bot, using virtual voice agents!
Diego	Gosmar,	CEO,	XCALLY
The	Next	Frontier:	An	AI	Strategy	and	Full-Stack,	All-Scenario	Portfolio
Huawei predicts that by 2025, the world will see upwards of 40 billion personal smart devices, and
90% of device users will have a smart digital assistant. Data utilization will reach 86% and AI services
will be readily available. AI will become a new general purpose technology and will change all industries
and organizations on earth. Huawei Cloud embraces the AI Era, Unleashing New Growth with Enterprise
Intelligence
This session will share Huawei's plan in the area of AI + Cloud. including AI + Cloud strategy and
the Full-Stack, All Scenario portfolio. Huawei will collaborate with the industry players to turn AI +
Cloud into a practical reality, making it inclusive and available for every person, every home, and every
organization.
Ma	Hongwei,	Solution	Director	-	Industrial	Solution	Architecture,	Huawei

The	Virtual	Enterprise:	Tearing	Down	the	Walls
Want to improve your productivity and results? Tear down the proverbial four walls! Using digital
workspace technologies, companies can serve up personalized access to the systems, information and
tools that their employees need to be productive anywhere, anytime, on any device. This session will
detail how to create a virtual workspace where employees can work in a flexible, intelligent and secure
way that unlocks innovation, engages customers, and moves your business forward. Key takeaways
from this session include:
- Solve the complexity problem to keep solutions implementation simple
- Flexibility: Provide a Bento Box of technology options for employees to fill with their personal
choices
- Intelligence: Optimize your workspace, leveraging innovative technologies like machine learning,
alongside simplified workflows
- Security:
Place the user at the center of the security framework, providing contextual access,
security controls, and predictive analytics

Making	Blockchain	Mainstream	-	Turning	Hype	and	Skepticism	into	Meaningful	Industrial	Applications
Distributed Ledger Technologies such as blockchain are outpacing most technology adoption
curves and have yet to truly evolve beyond the proof-of-concept phase. Yet, the potential it has to
disintermediate and disrupt a breadth of industries is widely accepted. To truly catalyse mainstream
adoption, collaboration within industries and appropriate regulatory governance is the next important
step to take.

Case	Study:	Optimizing	for	Users,	Not	Machines
Maximizing your digital presence isn't just about using the latest technologies and platforms. It's about
your users. Sadly, many organizations are so pumped up about integrating all these new technologies
into their business without really looking at the wants, needs, and desires of their users. In any
business, the goal shouldn't be to have latest software or tools, it should be about having the best user
experience that money can buy. If that means having the latest technology and that will solve the users'
needs, then go ahead, but if not then why waste time and money? In this session, we'll look at some
different case studies to understand what could have been done differently and how your business
should go about optimizing your digital assets and platforms for users, not machines.
