Why You Should Come to the Next VideoSchmooze, on December 1st in NYC

The next VideoSchmooze breakfast/panel is coming up on Wed, Dec. 1st at The Samsung Experience, located in the Time Warner Center, 10 Columbus Circle, NYC. The topic of our panel, which I'll moderate, couldn't be more timely: "How Connected and Mobile Devices are Transforming the Video Landscape."

Here are 5 great reasons you should come:

1. Our panel is top-notch and you'll learn a lot. Our panel includes:
-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 represent a diverse group of perspectives on connected and mobile devices. How does each see the development of these devices unfolding and their impact? What should we expect this holiday season? Who wins and who loses as connected and mobile devices proliferate? If you've been to a VideoSchmooze before or another session I've moderated, you know you can expect a no-BS, fact-driven and highly-focused/entertaining session. There will be plenty of time for audience Q&A and for meeting the panelists.

2. Schmooze with industry colleagues. The name "VideoSchmooze" says it all. VideoSchmooze events are opportunities to meet others in the industry who  have responsibility for and/or influence over their companies' online/mobile video initiatives. The start of any deal is developing personal relationships; VideoSchmooze events help connect you to a couple hundred people you need to know.

3. Educate yourself about connected and mobile devices. The Samsung Experience is a unique showroom displaying all the company's newest gadgets and staffed by professionals who can answer all of your questions, without looking to make the sale  (it's a showroom, not a store). You'll see demos of the "Tab," which is Samsung's newly-released Android-based tablet (meant to compete with the iPad), the line of high-end Galaxy smartphones with brilliant 4-inch Super AMOLED screens, connected Blu-ray players perfect for streaming Netflix and other content, and of course the unbelievably-thin new LED TVs. Get hands-on and learn!

4. VideoSchmooze is an incredible value and fits your schedule well. Sometimes attending a broader industry conference makes sense. But these days, finding 2 days out of the office to spare, plus the thousands of dollars in registration fees and travel expenses required is becoming a rare luxury. With VideoSchmooze, for $50-60 (early bird discounted tickets now available), you get a high-quality education/networking event that fits snuggly into your hectic schedule. No finance geek is going to give you a hard time that VideoSchmooze busted your quarterly T&E budget. Plus, all early bird registrants are eligible to win a Samsung connected Blu-ray player.

5. Yummy breakfast goodies from Bouchon Bakery. OK, if you're not sold yet, then here's the best part - you can expect yummy and plentiful breakfast goodies from the Bouchon Bakery just next door to the Samsung Experience.  You can get a cup of Joe and a factory-tasting bagel from Dunkin Donuts while dashing to your office any morning, but how often do you start your day with a flaky fresh pain au chocolat and steaming cup of coffee? Pretty enticing, huh?
