Indie Telco Local Content Workshop Advertisement

Conferences of Note

By Ken Pyle, ken.pyle@viodi.com, Managing Editor, Viodi View

After a restful summer, it looks like conference season is back in full swing. The following summarizes some of the interesting shows and conferences that Viodi plans on attending over the next few months. Obviously, this is only a small sampling of the many shows that are available.

• Digital Hollywood - A show that combines content providers, advertisers, technology into an intense three day event. With hundreds of speakers and special tracks dealing with things such as music, digital rights management and mobile applications, this show is well worth the time. September 19th-21st in Santa Monica.
• CTIA – I have never been to this show, but I have heard good things. I am looking forward to learning more about how mobile video applications will complement telcos’ IPTV efforts. September 27th-29th in San Francisco.
• FTTH Conference – I have always wanted to go to this conference, as I have heard great reviews from vendors and operators. It is the premier show dealing exclusively with Fiber to the Home. October 4th-6th, Las Vegas, NV.
• Telecom05 – USTA’s annual show will feature heavyweight keynote speakers like Jim Robbins, CEO of Cox and Ed Whitacre, CEO of SBC. I am looking forward to participating in the IP Video track at this event. I am especially excited, as this year admission to the IP Video sessions are included in the basic Telecom05 registration. October 23rd-27th.
• TelcoTV – A conference and tradeshow with a singular focus on telcos and their efforts to move into video. This year promises to be bigger than ever. November 8th-10th, San Diego
• Parks Associates’ Fall Focus – Parks Associates is one of the premier analyst firms focused on the digital home. Their Fall Focus event mixes their original research with speakers from leading edge suppliers to the Digital Home. November 9th-11th, San Jose.
• Streaming Media West – A show I haven’t been to in a number of years, but one which is especially appropriate as Internet delivered video becomes more and more of a viable option. November 15th-17th, San Jose.
