With the Broadband Video Leadership Evening now behind us, I'd like to turn your attention to three upcoming panels that offer lots of education value.

First, if you happen to be in Boston, or find yourself here next Monday night, March 30th, I'll be moderating a session for MassNetComms, entitled, "Is Convergence Finally Here? Web Video and TV Get Ready to Collide." We have a great group of local Boston-area companies and executives on the panel:

• Chris Gardner - Chief Marketing Officer, ExtendMedia
• Hilmi Ozguc - Former CEO and Co-Founder, Maven Networks
• Andy Roberts - VP of Advanced Technology, Azuki Systems
• Neil Sequeira - Managing Director, General Catalyst Partners

All of these guys are on the front lines of the broadband/mobile video evolution, and will provide tons of market insight. The event is from 5pm - 8pm including networking time. Registration is here.

Then on April 22nd, I'm pleased to be partnering with NAB to moderate 2 panels at the NABShow in Las Vegas. Access is complimentary by clicking here, and entering code "X104"

The first panel, at 11am is entitled, "How TV Broadcasters are Capitalizing on Broadband Video" with the following panelists:

• Bill Bradford - SVP, Chief Product Officer, Fox Digital Media Broadband Channels Group
• Colin Dixon - Practice Manager, Broadband Media, The Diffusion Group
• Suzanne Johnson - Senior Industry Marketing Manager, M&E, Akamai Technologies
• Clayton Thomson - VP, Video Strategy and Development, WorldNow

The second panel, at 3pm, is on one my favorite topics, "How Syndication is Powering the Broadband Video Era," with the following panelists:

• Doug Knopper - Co-CEO and Co-Founder, FreeWheel
• Steven Kydd - EVP, Demand Studios, Demand Media
• Chase Norlin, CEO, Pixsy
• Steve Rosenbaum - Founder and CEO, Magnify.net

I hope you're able to join us, as both panels are sure to provide lots of great information. The panels will be in the "Content Theater" adjacent to the "Content/Commerce Pavilion" where many industry companies will be exhibiting (e.g. Brightcove, Limelight, Electronic Arts, Akamai, MGM, etc.) Exhibiting opportunities are still available, ping me if you're interested. Hope to see you there!
