Media Integration: What's Next and Where Do You Fit In? |
|
How will the entertainment industry
accelerate the integration of digital technologies into a more compelling
consumer experience? The Internet, wireless, iTV, mobile, broadband, VOD,
streaming, digital theater, and other platforms are clearly the future.
On-demand content delivery is an extremely compelling concept, but
where/how is the money? What's next? Where are the business and job
opportunities? Each
session features panelists in a robust participatory dialogue. There are
no PowerPoints or formal presentations. Press are not present and we do
not record the evening. High-speed Internet connectivity supports the
conversation. Dress is casual/comfortable. |
