Why go Live? Facebook’s head of video Fidji Simo will tell Disrupt NY

How will Facebook video change the physics of news publishing, app downloads, commerce, and what we point our phones at? Find out at TechCrunch Disrupt NY May 9th to 11th when Facebook’s head of video Fidji Simo joins us on stage for a fireside chat.

By now, Facebook’s likely hit 10 billion video views per day. In a few short years, it became an 800-lb gorilla big enough to stand tall against YouTube and Snapchat. And with videos getting so much visibility in the News Feed, Facebook has created a ripple effect that impacts every type of business.

At Disrupt NY, we’ll ask Simo what we should expect next from Facebook video, how companies can adapt, and why Facebook is betting so big on Live broadcasting.
