The event will be held at the gorgeous Hudson Theater, a historic gem on West 44th Street just off Times Square. I'm pleased to have NATPE, VideoNuze's partner since launch, on board for the event. And I'm extremely grateful to lead sponsor Move Networks and supporting sponsor ExtendMedia (and others soon to follow) who are making the evening possible. Note, additional sponsorship opportunities are still available, contact me to learn more.

As with the last two VideoNuze events, my goals for the evening are straightforward: to enhance attendees' understanding of the broadband video market's key drivers and to create a high-quality forum for networking with industry colleagues to discover new business and personal opportunities.

In particular, unlike many other events we've all attended, where a seemingly random collection of panelists are assembled for an improvised discussion, these panelists have been hand-selected based on their specific responsibilities and their companies' roles in the broadband video ecosystem. We will have a rigorous discussion of many of the key industry issues VideoNuze covers each day. As those of you who have attended previous panels I've moderated understand, all the panelists will be well-prepared and fully engaged. There will also be ample audience Q&A time. Attendees will benefit from a unique learning experience.

Similarly, the VideoSchmooze networking reception will be a premier, focused opportunity to expand your network and pursue business and personal opportunities. As with past events, I expect a strong mix of established media and technology executives, along with early-stage startups, entrepreneurs and investors. And while VideoSchmooze is not meant to be a job fair, I do hope it can play a meaningful role in getting together some of the really terrific people who have been dislocated recently with companies that continue to hire.

In short, I'm really excited about the Broadband Video Leadership Evening, and hope you'll be able to come. Early bird discounted tickets are now available. I've also created more deeply discounted "5-Pack" and "10-Pack" tickets for those of you who expect to come with multiple colleagues. Note also that the event is being held on the eve of the 2009 McGraw-Hill Media Summit, so if you're already planning to come into town for that, please book your travel plan accordingly so you're able to join us too (I've arranged a discounted room block at the adjacent Millennium Broadway Hotel.) And yes, since March 17th is St. Patrick's Day, please feel free to wear your green!
