NEW YORK and LISBON, Portugal, July 14, 2025, the premier European edition of Questex's acclaimed StreamTV Show, today unveils its inaugural Advisory Board-an elite panel of industry leaders, innovators, and visionaries set to shape the future of streaming television across Europe. StreamTV Europe will run April 13-15, 2026 at the EPIC SANA LISBOA in Lisbon, Portugal.
A Board Forged for European Leadership
The Advisory Board brings together top executives from across content, technology, distribution, and marketing, offering a powerful mix of global perspective and regional expertise. Board members will help define programming topics, suggest cultural and market-based customization, and ensure that StreamTV Europe addresses the specific nuances and opportunities of the European ecosystem.
Guided by Media Industry Pioneers
StreamTV Europe continues to benefit from the strategic leadership of two veteran streaming executives, Evan Shapiro (ESHAP) and Tony Goncalves (The Evrose Group), who will serve as Honorary Co-Chairs of the Advisory Board. Their global track record-from leading-edge content platforms to technology integration-will be instrumental as Europe's unique streaming challenges take center stage.
Europe's streaming landscape is evolving rapidly, with shifting content consumption patterns, localization demands, regulatory complexity, and emerging monetization models. Kevin Gray, Founder, StreamTV Show at Questex, said, "Europe demands its own platform for collaboration and innovation. StreamTV Europe will serve as the hub where industry leaders come together to shape the future of streaming across the continent."
The Advisory Board will play a pivotal role in defining relevant tracks-from FAST channels and programmatic ad tech to cross-border content strategy and regulation-culminating in an unparalleled program at the April 13-15, 2026, event hosted at EPIC SANA Lisboa in Lisbon, Portugal.
