• VideoSchmooze:NYC Early Bird Discount Expires Next Friday

    A quick reminder that the early bird discount for the next VideoSchmooze breakfast/panel expires next Friday, Nov. 12th. The event will be in New York, on Wednesday, Dec. 1st at The Samsung Experience, located in the Time Warner Center, 10 Columbus Circle. As an 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

    Our panelists bring a range of perspectives to the connected/mobile debate which will be invaluable for helping understand the issues. As with past VideoSchmooze events, attendees can expect a high-impact, interactive, educational session.

    The timing of our discussion couldn't be better, right in the middle of a holiday season where connected and mobile devices will be highly sought-after gifts. As these devices proliferate they are expanding the audience of users able to access video in fundamentally new ways, further fueling transformation of the industry.

    There will be plenty of time for networking and audience Q&A. Samsung will also be hosting technology demonstrations of its connected devices for those interested. This VideoSchmooze breakfast is generously sponsored by Akamai Technologies, FreeWheel and Panache. It is being held in association with CTAM's New York chapter. The Fortex Group is providing marketing support.

    I hope you'll be able to join us at this special event! Early bird individual and group rates are now available.
