LISBON, Portugal, Nov. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Forge’s StreamTV Europe, the premier gathering for Europe's streaming industry, today announced that registration is officially open for its 2027 event. Taking place 20-22 April at the Estoril Congress Centre in Cascais, on Portugal's Lisbon Coast, the event follows a successful inaugural event that brought together nearly 1,000 industry professionals from 44 countries. StreamTV Europe is returning bigger and bolder, with expanded programming, a new venue and even more opportunities to connect the people and companies shaping the future of streaming.
StreamTV Europe 2027 is expected to welcome more than 1,500 attendees, 200+ speakers, 100+ sponsors and partners, and 60+ hosted buyers, bringing together senior decision-makers from streaming platforms, broadcasters, content owners, advertisers, agencies, technology providers and distributors across Europe and beyond.
As the streaming industry navigates shifting audience behaviours, evolving monetisation models, AI-driven innovation and growing competition for content and attention, StreamTV Europe will provide a forum for the industry's most influential voices to challenge conventional thinking, share actionable insights and build the partnerships driving what's next.
"StreamTV Europe's debut demonstrated the tremendous appetite for an event that brings the entire European streaming ecosystem together," said Alejandro Piñero, Managing Director, Forge. "For 2027, we're building on that momentum with an expanded experience, a fantastic new venue and programming that reflects the industry's biggest opportunities and challenges. From the future of content and advertising to sports, AI and the evolving role of broadcasters, we're creating an environment where meaningful conversations lead to real business opportunities."

Audience, Culture & Content: The future of scripted and unscripted content, changing audience behaviours, creator-led entertainment, content monetisation and the platforms transforming discovery and distribution.
Business, Monetisation & Ads: The next generation of streaming advertising, including collaboration between platforms, publishers, agencies and brands; improved attribution and measurement; simplified ad buying; and new opportunities in branded content.
Tech, AI & Experience: The innovations transforming streaming delivery, discovery and engagement, from artificial intelligence and personalisation to user experience, infrastructure and live streaming technology.
Sports, Streaming & Stakes: The rapidly evolving economics of sports streaming, including media rights, distribution, fan engagement, monetisation and the growing competition for live sports audiences.

The event will also welcome back Evan Shapiro, the Media Cartographer, who will host, curate and remix The Grand Final, StreamTV Europe's signature general session.
