Thanks to Odd Networks, a WordCamp Saratoga 2015 Enterprise Sponsor!

Posted on November 17, 2015 by Matt Banks

We want to give a sincere thank you to Odd Networks, one of our Enterprise sponsors for this year’s WordCamp Saratoga!

Broadcasting as we know it is dead. Creating personalized interactive experiences around original content is the future of the connected TV. Odd Networks provides a new kind of over-the-top (OTT) SaaS platform that lets content creators deliver a tailored brand experience across a variety of devices and channels. It’s your own branded Netflix, like Tumblr for TV.

Having the support of great companies like Odd Networks let’s us put together a great WordCamp for the community. We’re lucky and thankful to have them as a sponsor for our second year!
