MESA’s 2nd Screen Summit (S3) is partnering with the groundbreaking TV Goes Social conference to give home entertainment executives a second day-long track of panels and presentations on opportunities in the Social TV space.

The events — both of which will take place on Feb. 22, 2012 at the Loews Santa Monica Beach hotel in Santa Monica, Calif. — will together explore how content owners and third-party developers can capitalize on the changing viewing habits of today’s TV audience.
