Saether will lend Vimond's perspective and unique experience in OTT content delivery to the discussion. More and more football fans are staying connected via mobile devices, tablets, or the Internet. Increasingly, they are watching matches on their HDTV sets while using mobile devices or tablets for additional information related to the match. The panel will explore what types of content fans are looking for on the second-screen, and how broadcasters and federations can most easily meet those needs.

FIFA’s Stefan-Eric Wildemann is at the center of FIFA’s efforts to better understand this quickly developing marketplace. What are the best ways to engage fans on second screens before, during, and after the match? And what is the relationship between the first screen and second screen experience?
