The early bird discount for the next VideoSchmooze breakfast/panel ends today. The event will be in New York, on Wednesday, December 1st at The Samsung Experience, located in the Time Warner Center, 10 Columbus Circle. As a little added incentive, early bird ticket holders only will be entered to win a new Samsung connected Blu-ray DVD player (model BD-C6500; I have one and it's awesome).
The topic of our panel, which I'll moderate, is "How Connected and Mobile Devices are Transforming the Video Landscape." Panelists include:
- Charlie Herrin - SVP, Products and Technology, Comcast Interactive Media - Doug Knopper - Co-CEO and Co-Founder, FreeWheel - Olivier Manuel - Director of Content, Samsung Electronics - Steve Robinson - CEO and Founder, Panache - Jeremiah Zinn - SVP, Digital Products, MTV
The dynamics in connected and mobile device are changing fast and we'll try to untangle what's going on and what's ahead. Just recently we've seen 4 of the broadcast TV networks block Google TV, Apple sell nearly 8 million iPads in its first 5 months, rapid consolidation/M&A among video ad networks, pay-TV operators lose subscribers for the first time ever and plenty more financings for private online/mobile video companies. We'll dig into these topics and more.
The timing of this VideoSchmooze - in the middle of a holiday season where connected and mobile devices are among the hottest gifts - makes our discussion all the more relevant. As with past VideoSchmooze events, attendees can expect a high-impact, interactive, educational session. And if you want to go hands on with any of Samsung's cool products, their team will be on hand to do demos and answer questions.
