| LETTER FROM THE CONFERENCE CHAIR
|
|
As the convergence of the four screens continues - PC, TV, mobile phone, and Personal Mobile Platform (PMP) - Internet video has shifted programming into the hands of Web users instead of television viewers, blurring the division between a Website and a TV channel as broadband connections enable viewers to surf the Internet to find whatever programs they want.
To explore these issues, iTVCon - Internet Video Conference & Expo 2007 is being held Monday, November 12 & Tuesday, November 13, 2007, in the Grand Hyatt Hotel, San Francisco.
iTVCon - Internet Video Conference & Expo 2007 looks in detail at how, with all the data and entertainment being pumped down the same pipe or transmitted over the same wireless networks, the worlds of TV and the Internet are colliding and old-fashioned broadcasters need to discover new revenue channels fast.
Now that broadband is available to more than 100 million households worldwide, every corporate Website - not to mention every media company - must now provide video content on the Internet to remain competitive, as well as live and interactive video Webinars and on-demand Webcasts.
Internet Video / Internet TV - or iTV for short - is wide open, it is global, and in true "Web 2.0" spirit it is a direct-to-consumer opportunity. It is creating new business models, leveling the playing field for companies of all sizes, and developing a new, 21st-century video culture.
SYS-CON Events, the world's leading producer of i-technology conferences, is thus proud and passionate in delivering to you the first "iTVCon - Internet Video Conference and Expo 2007." We have developed an event that will be delivered over an intense two full days that promises to broaden your iTV view and knowledge, allow you to network with your fellow pioneering colleagues and peers, and transform the future of your business.
Hear firsthand from the creators, the innovators, the leaders, and the early adopters of Internet Video / Internet TV. Register now!

Packaging and Delivering Internet Video
Content on the Four Screens
New models for successfully packaging and delivering video and Internet TV content packaged to today's busy consumer. What are the different business models and advertising strategies that will work, and why? In association, this session will offer an explanation of the convergence of mobile entertainment on the four screens  PC, TV, mobile phone and PMP; how to engage the consumer with TV and video content and keep them coming back for more?when it's convenient for them (where and when they want it). The session will then round back to how everyone can win: content providers, advertisers, and ultimately, the consumer.
Speaker Bio: Kate Purmal is GM and SVP of Digital Content Solutions for SanDisk. She was formerly CEO of U3 and has more than 20 years of experience as an entrepreneur, corporate executive and independent consultant with Adobe, CBS MarketWatch, Hewlett-Packard, Intuit, Palm and Handspring, and many start-ups.
How to Deliver High Quality Internet Video
for Your Company's Broadcast Needs
Important items to consider when choosing video applications for your web site are quality and download speed. In order to meet viewer expectations for video set by HDTV, content providers must re-evaluate the way video is delivered. This session will discuss the next phase in the Internet video evolution: perfecting video quality and enabling long-form content. By offering long-form, HD-quality video, content providers can capitalize on the online video opportunity and increase customer satisfaction. Enhancing video quality is made simple with a new generation of backend technologies that are easy to deploy and use.
Speaker Bio: Justin Chapweske, founder and CEO of Swarmcast, is the original inventor of multi-source streaming, which utilizes bandwidth from multiple servers and aggregates packets of information from each in real-time. Swarmcast implements multi-source streaming to deliver full-screen, long-form broadcast and High Definition quality video over standard broadband to large audiences.
Creative is Sexy: Embracing Social
Media
in a New Digital World
From traditional media embracing social media in a new digital world, to how independent filmmakers and artists can take advantage of a safe environment (all of VMIX's content is screened by human screeners for copyright infringement violations) to build a network and a brand online, VMIX can look at the broad range of film, music, and digital media backgrounds needed to make this social media happen.
Speaker Bio: Greg Kostello is CEO and Founder of vMix, a role to which he brings over 20 years experience in technology development and management. Previously, Kostello was President of Vivendi-Universal Net Technologies. He was also Executive Vice President of Technology for MP3.com and co-founded DigitalStyle, a leading Web graphics tools vendor.
 Video Search Optimization:
Maximizing Traffic to Online Video
Because blinkx has was built from the ground up for the video web, the company has observed many things and created a number of internal best practices, including its Video Search Engine Optimization wiki and guidelines with the goal to provide a forum for discussions around best practices, as well as provide clear and thorough recommendations on how to maximize results for your video content. Practical and technical tips include.
Speaker Bio: Suranga Chandratillake, founder of blinkx, is a technology innovator with over seven years of frontline experience. He has worked as a software developer for Morgan Stanley, netdecisions, and a start-up called anondesign, where he held numerous roles. After three successful years as the US CTO for Cambridge-based technology firm, Autonomy, Suranga founded blinkx.
 Taming the TV 2.0 Beast: Monetization of Internet TV
The movement towards Web TV programming gives content owners, organizations and marketers a whole new set of tools to explore interactive ways of engaging their audience. However, it also creates two core challenges: viewers are free to watch any program, any time; and these viewers have a low tolerance for traditional, scheduled commercial breaks. Companies now need to devise unobtrusive, highly targeted methods to monetize their audiences, creating mutually beneficial relationships between the consumer and the advertiser.
Speaker Bio: David Graves is Chairman and Founder of PermissionTV. Having previously held held senior executive positions at Reuters, Westinghouse Broadcasting (now CBS), and Yahoo! he can provide first-hand insight on the Web TV industry evolution, current advertising opportunities, monetizing the Web TV audience, business/technology/user demands and ramifications, as well as his thoughts on the industryÂ’s future.
 Bringing On-Demand Platforms to the Demanding Audience
The Internet has made it increasingly easy for consumers to access content they want: a newly released movie, a sporting event taking place half-way around the world, or a YouTube video. Previously only available through TiVo and Slingbox consumers with Internet access now have on-demand access to any content on the Internet. While content is now easy to access – it's not easy to transpose onto everyone’s favorite display platform – the big screen HD TV.
During this session, we will discuss platform-agnostic solutions available today, and the simplicity of bringing Internet content to the masses.
Speaker Bio: Safi Qureshey is CEO and Chairman of Quartics. He has been a successful technology entrepreneur, executive and investor for 25 years. Best known as a founder and CEO of AST Research, a Fortune 500 public company, Qureshey has relationships with global technology, government, public and private investment communities and leading research universities.
