The cloud is transforming everything, and the Media & Entertainment industry in Los Angeles is feeling this shift acutely. Being on top of the latest innovations—and knowing what’s coming over the horizon—is mission critical for executives in the video space.

While attendees dined at the Beverly Hills Spring Place, industry leader Shaun Lile (Senior Solutions Architect at AWS Elemental) took them through an eye-opening program on what works, what doesn’t, and what’s coming next in cloud solutions for video.

Metal Toad is continuing to bridge the gap for M&E enterprises with AWS expertise and custom solutions. Our second Annual State of Video+Cloud for M&E VIP Luncheon, in October 2020, will dive into the next wave of disruption, innovation, and opportunity.
