As we near the end of 2024, we gathered experts to discuss the standout streaming trends of 2024 and how that will shift, or continue into 2025. Not surprisingly AI made an appearance, as well as the transition to the cloud, but we also discussed whether linear TV will transition to a streaming experience, the appearance of new ad formats, and whether 2025 will be the year that we start to see tangible results from sustainability efforts.
