M+E Connections

Wasabi shares key findings from its 2023 Cloud Storage Index, Synamedia and Ampere Analysis join forces to detail results of a piracy report, and the MESA community gathers in person in London, and online around the world, for the ITS Localisation event.

Those are just a few of the events from the MESA community the week of Feb. 27-March 3, according to MESA’s global member e-calendar.

Here’s a look at what’s ahead:

Tuesday:

• MESA’s Innovation and Transformation Summit: Localisation (ITS Localisation) will focus exclusively on the localisation business in media and entertainment and will feature subject matter experts, academics, content creators, and their service provider partners for conference sessions discussing the latest trends in software, hardware, products, and people that drive global content workflows and distribution mechanisms.

Keynotes from the top service providers in the localisation industry, insights from the educators training the voice talent of tomorrow, the desires of content owners managing the transformation of our industry, and a comprehensive update from the technologists making everything localisation work.

All that and more will be on tap in London.

The event will be held at the Royal Garden Hotel, 2-24 Kensington High Street, London W8 4PT, as well as online in the MESAVerse, MESA’s virtual work environment for its members and communities. To register, click here.

The Innovation and Transformation Summit: Localisation is sponsored by AppTek, Signiant, EIDR, Iyuno, LinQ Media Group, Vubiquity, OOONA, XL8, and Collot Baca, and is produced by MESA, in association with the Content Localisation Council.

• Wasabi analysed survey results from 1,000 IT decision-makers worldwide to provide insight into how your peers are thinking about their cloud storage strategy, and some of the critical challenges they face. Join market experts Drew Schlussel and Andrew Smith, as well as Wasabi’s Chief Marketing Officer, Bill Hobbib, as they present key findings from Wasabi’s 2023 Cloud Storage Index. The presenters will discuss everything from cloud storage budgets and billing complexities, to security and compliance, and the challenges of migrating and managing data in a multi-cloud world.

• Synamedia and Ampere Analysis present “No Laughing Matter: Pirates Enjoy Comedy.” Did you know comedy is the most pirated genre? While sports piracy has attracted much attention, new research from Synamedia finds it is dwarfed by the scale of entertainment piracy. New research conducted by Ampere Analysis across Brazil, Germany, India, Italy, Thailand, UK and U.S. accurately determines how consumers would behave if piracy was blocked, taking into account variables from cinema attendance to subscription churn.

Wednesday:

• Synaptica hosts “How to Use Your Enterprise Taxonomies for Auto-Categorization.” In this webinar Synaptica will present the Graphite Knowledge Studio tools and illustrate how enterprises can leverage their existing taxonomies to perform auto-categorisation, including inline semantic tagging as well as document-level classification. Graphite Knowledge Studio brings together tools for managing ontology schema, curating taxonomies, ingesting corpora, and performing iterative tagging trials with human-in-the-loop review and rule-refinement. Knowledge Studio is the result of over two year’s collaboration between Synaptica and Ontotext to integrate their taxonomy management and text analytics technologies.
