New York, NY – Wednesday, October 22 – Access Intelligence today announced the official launch of Convergent TV, a reimagined and expanded version of the former CTV Connect conference. The repositioning reflects the rapid evolution of the media and advertising marketplace, where buyers and sellers alike are seeking clarity and collaboration across a converged video ecosystem spanning linear TV, CTV, streaming, gaming, retail media, digital out-of-home (DOOH), OEM/FAST platforms, and MVPDs.

Convergent TV will serve as a neutral, cross-industry forum where brands, agencies, publishers, networks, and technology providers come together to address shared challenges in measurement, attribution, campaign execution, and creative innovation across all screens.

“Audiences don’t think in silos—they move seamlessly across streaming, social, gaming, and out-of-home. Marketers need to do the same,” said Stephanie Cronk, Brand Director, Access Intelligence. “By evolving CTV Connect into Convergent TV, we’re creating the one place where the entire ecosystem can unite, find solutions, and define the future of converged media buying.”

The event will also feature the debut of The Convergence Awards, recognizing excellence and innovation across the converged TV and video marketplace. Additionally, new programming formats—including reverse pitches, hosted buyer meetings, and curated roundtables—will create more opportunities for meaningful connections between buyers, sellers, and technology partners.

Convergent TV will take place in New York City in March 2026.
