Join Me at VideoNuze's Next "VideoSchmooze" Event: April 26th, NYC

Please join me for VideoNuze's next "VideoSchmooze" Broadband Video Leadership Evening, on Monday evening, April 26th from 6-9pm in New York City.  

We have a great panel lined up, which I'll moderate: "Money Talks: Is Online Video Shifting to the Paid Model?" Our group of executive panelists represents multiple perspectives:

• Jeremy Legg - SVP, Business Development, Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.
• Damon Phillips - VP, ESPN 360 (soon to be ESPN 3)
• Avner Ronen - CEO and Co-founder, boxee
• Fred Santarpia - General Manager, Vevo

With everything that's happening in the online video world, we'll have no shortage of topics to discuss. Monetization and distribution opportunities abound; for example, just in the last couple of weeks on VideoNuze I've described the new ad formats that blip.tv has recently introduced, the escalating battle for movie rentals between different platforms, the new "Google TV" set-top box and its implications and the premium iPhone MMOD app's performance. Our executive panel will help us understand how these all fit together, and where things are headed in the all-important race to effectively monetize online video. As always, there will be plenty of time for audience Q&A.

I'm also really excited about our featured 15-minute presentation by Emily Nagle Green, President and CEO of Yankee Group, a leading industry market research and consulting firm. Emily is also the author of the recently published book, "Anywhere - How Global Connectivity is Revolutionizing the Way We Do Business." Among other things, Emily previously ran Forrester Research's North American business. She's been studying broadband for 15+ years and some of the key findings from her book are fascinating. Her presentation will be an ideal "stage-setter" for the panel to follow.

The networking period will be upfront, from 6-7:30pm, allowing ample time to mingle and meet industry colleagues. We'll have open bar (and hors d'oeuvres) during this period.

Past VideoSchmoozes have attracted 250+ attendees and I expect the same at this one. Whether you're pursuing business or personal opportunities in the industry, VideoSchmooze is a premier opportunity to expand your network and meet the panelists. As with past events, I expect a strong mix of established media and technology executives, along with plenty of early stage companies, entrepreneurs and investors.

The event will again be held at the gorgeous Hudson Theater, a historic gem on West 44th Street just off Times Square. I'm grateful to lead sponsor Akamai Technologies and supporting sponsors FreeWheel, Horn Group, Irdeto, NeuLion, Panvidea and ScanScout for making the evening possible. Once again VideoSchmooze is being held in association with NATPE. You can follow VideoSchmooze on Twitter at hashtag #vidooze

I've tried hard to keep VideoNuze affordable with early bird discounted individual tickets priced at $65. When compared with other events being held in NYC, this is an exceptional value. If you're planning to attend with colleagues, I've also created more deeply discounted "5-Pack" and "10-Pack" tickets. I hope to see you on April 26th!
