BBVA FinAI Summit Streaming Platform Delivery

AI summit streaming platform for BBVA FinAI Summit 2025 by wtv.

The challenge

Partnering with BBVA, we drove the evolution of the “Data Fest” from an internal event into a global hybrid experience, the FinAI Summit 2025. The scope was significant: we needed to connect audiences across four countries: Spain, Mexico, Colombia, and Turkey

Our focus was on building a secure solution based on our platform, capable of managing nine simultaneous broadcasts, ranging from executive panels to technical masterclasses, while ensuring distinct access levels for internal and external attendees. Despite a tight timeline, we delivered a stable, high-performance solution that met the deadline and the bank’s security standards.

Client: BBVA
Event Type: Hybrid
Location: Spain, Colombia, Mexico and Turkey

Objective

To position BBVA as a global reference point in the application of AI within the financial sector, democratizing access to its strategic content.

The challenge was to deliver a high-level digital experience that would allow thousands of attendees (both BBVA employees and the general public) to navigate fluidly between executive panels and technical masterclasses, regardless of their location or time zone.

Our Solution

wtv. designed and managed the official global streaming platform for FinAI Summit 2025 (finaisummit.com), acting as the digital hub for the entire event. Our end-to-end solution included:

Custom OTT Portal Development: Creation of a branded, immersive video portal ("The Netflix of AI Finance") designed to house the 9 distinct broadcast flows.
Navigation Logic: Implementation of a user-friendly interface that allowed attendees to filter content by format (Panels vs. Masterclasses) and geography, ensuring easy discovery of relevant sessions.
Secure Access & Registration: Seamless integration of user authentication to handle high volumes of traffic, catering to both the 5,500+ internal data specialists and thousands of external registrants.
Global Content Delivery: Deployment of a robust CDN architecture to ensure low-latency streaming across Europe and Latin America, managing the synchronization of live feeds from Madrid, Mexico City, Bogota, and Istanbul.
Rapid Deployment: Agile development methodology to move from concept to full launch within the urgent timeframe requested by the client.

Outcomes

Successful Global Launch: Flawlessly delivered 4 days of content across 4 different time zones.

Audience Reach: Supported a record-breaking 6,000+ registered users (internal and external), significantly expanding the event's impact beyond physical venues.

High Reliability: 100% uptime during the nine critical broadcasts (Panels and Masterclasses).

Brand positioning: Established the platform as the digital home for the "most important AI event in the financial sector".

Platform Highlight

wtv.’s platform transformed a complex multi-geography agenda into a simple, unified digital experience. We focused on a "Session-First" architecture. Knowing users would want to jump between the strategic vision of the "Main Panels" and the practical learning of the "Masterclasses," we built a toggle-based navigation system. This allowed users to customize their viewing experience instantly, treating the live stream not just as a broadcast, but as an interactive learning library. From the initial urgent briefing to the final stream, our team handled:

Full UX/UI Design aligned with BBVA's brand guidelines.
Frontend & Backend development of finaisummit.com.
Live monitoring and technical support during the 4-day summit.

Client Impact

This project enabled BBVA to successfully evolve their "DataFest" into the globally recognized "FinAI Summit." By providing a stable and professional broadcast window, we helped BBVA showcase their leadership in Generative AI and Finance to a worldwide audience, proving that a complex, multi-location event can feel like a unified global conversation.
