• VideoSchmooze is Less Than 3 Weeks Away - Register Now and Win an iPad!

    VideoNuze's next "VideoSchmooze" Broadband Video Leadership Evening is coming up on Monday, April 26th - less than 3 weeks from today. The event runs from 6-9pm at the Hudson Theater in New York City and includes open bar, hors d'oeuvres, a full program and a chance to win an iPad.

    If you've never been to a VideoSchmooze, it's a premier evening of networking with industry colleagues and learning about what's ahead for the online video industry. The title of the panel discussion at this VideoSchmooze, which I'll moderate, is "Money Talks: Is Online Video Shifting to the Paid Model?" We have an amazing group of executive panelists whose companies are on the front lines of the video revolution:


    • Jeremy Legg - SVP, Business Development, Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.
    • Damon Phillips - Vice President, ESPN3
    • Avner Ronen - CEO and Co-founder, boxee
    • Fred Santarpia - General Manager, Vevo

    A bonus of this VideoSchmooze is a 15-minute upfront presentation by Emily Nagle Green, President and CEO of Yankee Group, a leading industry market research and consulting firm. Emily is the author of the recently published book, "Anywhere - How Global Connectivity is Revolutionizing the Way We Do Business." Emily is a veteran researcher who's been studying broadband for 15+ years and previously ran Forrester's North American business. Emily will share key data from Yankee's research and her book, which will set the stage for the panel to follow.

    Prior to Emily's presentation, which will start at 7:30pm, we'll have networking, open bar and hors d'oeuvres beginning at 6pm. Past VideoSchmoozes have attracted 250+ attendees and I expect the same at this one. Whether you're pursuing business or personal opportunities in the industry, VideoSchmooze is a premier opportunity to expand your network and meet the panelists. We'll have a strong mix of established media and technology executives, along with plenty of early stage companies, video producers and investors.

    I'm grateful to lead sponsor Akamai Technologies and supporting sponsors FreeWheel, Horn Group, Irdeto, NeuLion, Panvidea and ScanScout for making the evening possible. Once again VideoSchmooze is being held in association with NATPE. You can follow VideoSchmooze on Twitter at hashtag #vidooze

    Early bird discounted tickets are now available for $65, which is an incredible value compared to other industry events in NYC.  If you're planning to attend with colleagues, more deeply discounted "5-Pack" and "10-Pack" tickets are also available.

    And if you need one more incentive to come, I'll pick one lucky attendee's business card from the fishbowl who will win an iPad!

    I look forward to seeing you on April 26th!

    (Note: This Thursday, April 8th, I'll be co-leading a complimentary webinar with TDG's Colin Dixon: "Demystifying Free vs. Paid Online Video," which will be a great warm-up to the VideoSchmooze panel.)
