On July 22^nd at 12 Noon (ET) we’ll be having the first of a two-part roundtable discussion on creating interoperable media workflows in the cloud. This part will focus on linear workflows from live production through playout and live OTT delivery. The second part at a later date will focus on software interoperability.

What is interoperability? What is a Standard? With the speed of cloud technology development and adoption coupled with the need to bring solutions and services quickly to market, are Standards and similar conformity requirements still relevant? How important is interoperability, and if Standards are not the path to interoperability, what is?

Join your fellow SMPTE Cloud Media Club members and several invited industry leaders for a lively discussion. There will not be a presentation or a panel discussion - this is an "open mic" event, and everyone is encouraged to participate.

• A great primer on the cloud from our friends at Deloitte: Ed Coveduck, Jason Williamson and John Footen
• Jamie Duemo from AWS debating the merits of having a multi-cloud strategy with Peter Wharton (Jamie won by a TKO, regardless of which side she was debating for.)
• David Klee from A+E Networks and Abraham Yoslov from Discovery told us how thanks to the cloud and automated workflows they collaborated on content and launched a new OTT service in only hours.
• And more to come!
