In addition to the discount, everyone who signs up by then will be entered to win an $850 Samsung 40-inch LED Smart TV, generously provided by NeuLion.

We have a great group of executives registered so far from media companies such as Comcast, Bloomberg, NBCU, IMG, MLB Network, A&E Networks, DirecTV and others, plus technology companies like Akamai, Ooyala, Cisco, Mixpo, SundaySky, Grab Media, BlackArrow, Clearleap, FreeWheel and others.

I'm really looking forward to this VideoSchmooze as we have a great diversity of expert speakers, covering all of the main issues in online video. A highlight of the morning will be our first session, featuring 4 of the top Wall St. broadband/cable/Internet/media analysts (from Sanford Bernstein, Nomura, Barclays and Needham & Co.) discussing the key changes driving the video industry. This is the first time this group has been together and you can expect a data-rich, detailed discussion of the industry's dynamics and what's ahead in 2013.

After the analysts' panel, we'll have 4 sessions which will cover the hottest industry topics including the OTT landscape, TV Everywhere, multi-platform distribution, monetization, innovation/technology enablers, changing consumer behaviors, devices, mobile video and more. All in all VideoSchmooze is once again shaping as a premier morning of industry education and networking.

Register now for the early bird discount and an opportunity to win the Samsung Smart TV!
