MESA’s Executive Director, Guy Finley, serves as the Conference Chair for the event. “The Academy is all about how we as an industry can come together to work on ‘the machine’ that is UltraViolet,” he explains. “Content holders and their service provider partners need to ensure that we are prepared to scale the format as demand from the consumer increases. We expect the day to be an interactive dialogue around the workflow required to efficiently get UltraViolet product to market, and will encourage all attendees to be active in the discussion, raising hands and providing thought leadership to our industry about their particular role in the machine.”
