Description

The Content Delivery Summit is the longest-running annual conference focusing on the confluence of the technology and business that enables online publishers to reach audiences at scale. Where performance matters, the underlying networks must bring together numerous components to achieve the perfect balance of reach, reliability, and immediacy to meet and exceed audience expectations.

The majority of internet traffic is video and Content Delivery Summit emphasizes this largest network traffic driver of all. We’ll examine every element of the telecoms underpinning the very fabric of the internet, as well as the overlaid application layer that enables the network to deliver service to these vast distributed audiences. The agenda will cover a genuine "full stack" of technologies and commercial opportunities, including the following:

Physical Layer: Power, IXP, Carrier Hotels, Hosting, Edges
Non Fixed: RAN/Wireless/5G/Wi-Fi/Satellite/ATSC3.0/M-ABR/LTE-B
Link Layer: Peering/Transit/Interconnect/Core IP Architecture
Compute: Memory and Storage/CPU/GPU/FPGA/High Density
Delivering Service at Scale: Codecs/Encoding/Packaging/Caching/Latency
CDNs and Security: DDoS/Counter Piracy/DRM/Conditional Access
Service Orchestration: Functional Deployment/QoS/Introspection/Monitoring
CDN Innovation: Next Gen Services/Edge Compute

Where each of these layers are discussed in isolation at a number of other events, it is only at Content Delivery Summit that providers of all these elements come together and discuss and debate the interrelated issues and interdependencies holistically.

This is the unique annual opportunity for every participant in the "stack" to meet and to ensure alignment, and for those who buy services from any or all of these layers to attain a complete picture of the largest distributed compute networks and service platforms in the world.

HERE, EVENTS HELP YOUR COMPANY AND THE COMMUNITY

MGM Resorts is committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse culture, not just among employees and guests but also within its supply chain. The company prioritizes procuring goods and services from businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, people with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals and those facing economic disadvantages. This commitment is integral to MGM Resorts' global procurement strategy. Through its voluntary supplier diversity program, MGM Resorts actively identifies and connects certified diverse-owned suppliers to opportunities within its supply chain. The company is on track to spend at least 15% of its biddable procurement with diverse-owned businesses by 2025, demonstrating that supplier diversity is not only a social responsibility but also a strategic business imperative. Supplier diversity isn’t just the right thing to do – it’s good for business. A diverse supply chain allows access to a broader range of perspectives and experience, helping to drive innovation, entrepreneurship and resilience, while strengthening communities. At MGM Resorts, engaging diverse suppliers ensures best-in-class experiences for guests and clients. Supplier diversity ensures a more resilient supply chain while supporting economic development in the communities in which it operates. The impact of MGM Resorts' supplier diversity initiatives is significant. In 2023, these efforts supported over 3,500 jobs across more than 30 states, contributed over $214 million in income for diverse-owned businesses and generated more than $62 million in tax revenue. The story extends beyond the numbers – it reflects the tangible benefits brought to small and diverse-owned businesses, fostering economic empowerment in their communities. MGM Resorts also supports the development and business skills of diverse-owned businesses through investment, mentorship and education. Through the MGM Resorts Supplier Diversity Mentorship Program, the company identifies, mentors and develops diverse-owned businesses to fill its future pipeline, while providing businesses with tools and resources to empower and uplift. Since 2017, the program has successfully graduated 105 diverse-owned businesses and is on track to achieve its goal of 150 graduates by 2025. MGM Resorts’ commitment to supplier diversity not only enhances its business operations but also plays a crucial role in uplifting communities and fostering economic development. This approach reinforces the idea that diversity is a powerful driver of innovation and resilience, benefiting both the company and the wider community.
