NATPE is offering a special discounted rate of $650 (a $200 discount) for its NATPE 2010 conference next week in Las Vegas. The conference offers an excellent array of speakers and information about the TV and video industries. With a range of panels on online and mobile delivery, it is a great event for anyone looking to exploit new digital delivery opportunities.

I'll be involved with 2 sessions this year. First, on Monday, Jan. 25th, from 2:45-3:30pm, I'll be moderating "Adopting and Adapting Online Advertising, an Interactive Debate" with Rob Norman, CEO, Group M North America (Group M is the world's largest media buyer) and Shishir Mehrotra, Director of Product Management for Google, who's responsible for Google's video monetization efforts, including YouTube and TV advertising. It promises to be a stimulating discussion of how online video advertising is shaping up.

Then on Tuesday, Jan 26th, from 10-10:30am I'll hosting "Online Video Syndication and Advertising: What's Working" with Brent Horowitz, VP of Business Development for FreeWheel, a leading provider of advertising solutions for content providers pursuing third-party syndication. Brent and I will discuss the pros and cons of online video syndication and how content providers can participate.

Ping me if you're planning to come to NATPE and let's try to meet up!
