Why Did We Join?
Wowza has long been at the forefront of video streaming technology and trends. We were among the early pioneers in streaming video and have continued to engage in thought leadership as the industry expands. A big part of that is recognizing the importance of organizations like the SVTA in promoting collaboration and innovation for the betterment of individual companies, the customers they serve, and the technology that underlies their products. That’s why Wowza first jointed the SVTA (then known as SVA) back in 2015, just a year after its initial founding.
