Bring Your Vision to StreamTV Europe

The streaming industry's biggest challenges deserve its boldest ideas.

We’re back another year. Following our hugely successful launch of StreamTV Europe in April 2026, StreamTV is returning to Portugal next April, 2027. 

What does that mean? We are looking for exciting speakers to join us and shape fresh content at the heart of the streaming community. Think bold ideas, headline acts, and new perspectives on the future of European, and global streaming.  

This won’t be just another conference program. Hosted, curated, and remixed by Evan Shapiro, the Chaos Cartographer, our general session ( “The Grand Final”) will bring the headline acts of the industry together to face The New Normal. Here, every speaker has the chance to set the tone for what comes next in the streaming media landscape.  

Bring the insight. Bring the vision. Bring the future to StreamTV Europe.
