January General Meeting
Hookflash and WebRTC
Speaker: Trent Johnsen, Co-Founder and CEO, Hookflash
Trent Johnsen
In 2010 Google paid $200 million to acquire world leading audio and video codecs. In the spring of 2011 Google
open-sourced that codec technology and proposed that the global standards bodies - IETF and W3C - create a real-time
communications standard - "WebRTC".
The vision for WebRTC is to enable developers to quickly and easily add real-time voice and video functionality - think
Skype, Facetime or Periscope - into browsers, mobile applications and more. The WebRTC standard is now forecast to have
over 2.9 billion users and operate on over 6 billion devices by 2019.
WebRTC has been a hot topic for more than three years now, and there are signs that this Web communications standard may
finally be reaching critical mass of acceptance. What does the continued evolution and growth of the WebRTC ecosystem
mean for developers, consumers and businesses? What is the state of real-world products and implementations? And how
many enterprises are deriving real business value from WebRTC technology today?
Calgary based "Hookflash" is leading development of the global WebRTC standard as Founder, Chair and lead author of
"Object Real-Time Communications" (ORTC) technology and libraries being implemented by both Google and Microsoft.
Hookflash co-founder and CEO, Trent Johnsen has been a featured presenter at the largest major WebRTC events throughout
Europe and North America including WebRTC Global Summit - London, England, WebRTC Expo, Miami, Florida, Google Meetups
at MIT Boston, Google, San Francisco and America's largest telecom conference: Enterprise Connect in Orlando, Florida.
Learn what WebRTC can do for you today, and what it could mean for your future.
