Session A Views on the Digital Home - The TV Hub, Computer Hub, Telecommunications Hub: Part I

Views on the Digital Home is a two part workshop - it continues in the afternoon - and it will address the key concepts in establishing the home as a media center, focusing on three primary technologies as the core home-media hubs: the telecommunications, the computer and the television. These are the concepts behind the mantra-of-the-moment known as "convergence." While each technology will not move-forward along a completely distinct road or even make irrelevant the other, there are fundamentally different mindsets and market strategies at work which we will explore.

Session B Technology Infrastructure for the Delivery of Broadband Entertainment

The physical convergence of entertainment in the home requires a new technological infrastructure that is now evolving and being put in place as we move from narrowband to broadband delivery. For a TV broadcaster to become an Internet broadcaster, an entirely new technological framework must be devised. Creating the new "Digital Hollywood" will not be possible without the framework to support the structure itself. The products and services that will redefine technology will require an infrastructure capable of supporting bandwidth intensive applications. In this session we will explore the capabilities of the systems in place today, understand what kind of content we can deliver and what alternatives the production community has in reaching its marketplace.

2:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Session A Update on Digital Piracy & Copyright Infringement

The Internet may be the greatest communications medium of our time; at the same time it may also pose the greatest threat to the integrity of intellectual property rights. Digital delivery of music and movies over the Internet can be accomplished seamlessly and unobtrusively. If you are an online music retailer selling a customized CD to a paying customer, that's a great thing. If you're a college student bulk e-mailing that same CD to about two hundred and fifty of your friends, that is the start of a huge copyright problem. In this session we bring together a group of experts in technology, piracy, and copyright infringement on the Internet to discuss the extent of the problem and how the entertainment industry is prepared to put solutions in place.

Session B Views on the Digital Home - The TV Hub, Computer Hub, Telecommunications Hub: Part II

In this afternoon session, we continue our examination of the digital home. Will the future hold a television set - set-top box combination with all the functionality of a computer? Will the computer be a PC/TV replacement for the family room television and will all devices have telephone capabilities. What about the handheld devices and appliances? What will be a practical approach to creating the home network? Will it be wireless or will all new homes be built with crawl spaces for wiring behind walls or in the ceiling? These are the "crude" questions for our industry experts who are in the forefront of developing never-endingly "elegant" solutions.

Session A The Free Home Computer - Internet Phenomenon

With hundreds of millions at stake, mass retailers, technology manufacturers, Internet access providers as well as e-commerce merchants are all in the process of trying to assess, evaluate and understand the nexus between consumer Internet usage, the purchase of computer hardware and software and the extended e-commerce relationship and loyalty that will result from the serviced consumer. With the loyalty and pocketbook of tens of millions of new home users in our future, it is possible that the companies who best understand how to create initial brand loyalty among the newcomers will find huge rewards two or three years down the road. Whether it's free Internet access for a year or a free computer with paid Internet access for a year, the race to bring millions of new buyers online has only just begun.

Session B Development of Streaming Video Programming: The Launch of an Internet Entertainment Channel

Do you think that streaming video has a problem because it is too herky-jerky and doesn't compare to a broadcast signal? Do you think that the ten million Internet viewers who tuned into the Victoria's Secret fashion show webcast were disappointed because the technology was too primitive? If you're an entertainment industry executive and doubt that the audience is there for streaming video channels on the Internet, then you're in for a surprise because like the overnight arrival and popularity of MP3 technology on the music side, streaming video channels on the video side has arrived. Every television and film production entity had better figure out how to implement this technology and get its content streaming if it wants to play a part in the future. Is this an overstatement? In this session we will explore the possibilities in establishing an entertainment channel on the Internet.

12:30 PM - 1:45 PM
Session A The Music Industry: Narrowband and Broadband Strategies

What a year this has been! The music industry, more then any other entertainment sector has come under assault by the Internet technologies. There is no question that this is a crisis year. How do record companies create a viable business model in the new digital environment? What is the relationship of the superstar artist to the record company? What about the marginal artist, the performer with forty thousand dedicated fans, how does the industry structure itself so that it includes all segments of the industry and doesn't allow it to scatter and dissipate into twenty different separate entities? What about the technology? The Internet and the music industries were clearly made for each other, but what does that mean and how do they set up house and live together in peace. On this panel we have representatives of the traditional music industry, the Internet music industry and hybrids of both and we look to them for guidance and insight.

Session B Investment and Venture Capital in Broadband: From Incubator of Ideas & Talent to Financier of Operations

The investment and venture capital community in the high technology field has added an interesting dimension over the past decade. Much of the industry has evolved from the old strictly hands-off analytical approach of investing, to one of extensive strategic involvement in the sustained development of the operation, supplying it with both talent and ideas and providing it with strategic relationships with the firm's other clients. With the technology sector overflowing with start-up to IPO success stories, this approach is something like Major League owners maintaining a minor league infrastructure, with managers, trainers and spring training facilities. In this workshop we will hear first hand from a number of investment, start-up and legal experts to better understand the breadth of the incubator approach and how it works in practice.

2:15 PM - 3:30 PM
Session A Entertainment and Information Content: Leveraging and Merging the TV and Internet Medias

The day is not far-off when Internet penetration of the home will reach the same levels as cable TV and as that day approaches, broadband delivery and DTV will become a part of the package. The bottom line is that every TV show will have a significant Internet presence and it may even come in the form of real-time companion programming, what is now being called ETV Enhanced TV. In this session we bring together the brand name programming executives and creators who are dealing with what it means to leverage and extend their on-air television programming to the Internet. What is this process really all about? What about selling product? How do you effectively mix-in entertainment with marketing? What about building a community with programming that keeps an audience coming back? What does it mean to be a TV/Internet hybrid programmer? We are pleased to welcome a distinguished panel of experts.

Session B Interactive TV/DTV Software & Programming Solutions

There are two sides to the set-top box and DTV introduction, one is to have the hardware in place, the other is to have ready the programming solutions that make it useful and dynamic for the TV viewer. Whether it is going to be called ETV Enhanced Television, TVs with Interactive Programming, multi-plexed TV viewing or Customized or Personalized TV, there are a group of companies who have set the stage for this next TV generation and we are pleased to have them represented at this session.

4:00 PM - 5:15 PM
Session A Digital TV Cable/Satellite Box - New Services - New Revenue

The emergence of digital television is not a single or simply understood idea like the arrival of color TV because it represents a number of technologies that will come together in the home and they may arrive in stages. DTV is not only a TV set with enhanced television picture and audio quality, DTV will also arrive in the form of a new set-top box that will have new interactive capabilities, with the functionality of a computer that will bring, among other things, the Internet into play. Just as the VCR will be an antique as digital systems like DVD become the standard, the set-top box will bring digital convergence into the American home. In this session we bring together the companies and players who are at the heart of the set-top transformation. What will be the likely scenarios of implementation and change? This is the place to find out.

Session B Downloading Music on the Internet: MP3, Windows Media, A2B and Other Killer Technologies

Downloading music on the Internet is not only the hottest activity going, it is also rapidly establishing a new hierarchy of websites specializing in MP3 music and other technology formats for viewer listening. In other words, there are a slew of MTV style music channels popping up that may become the basis for a "New Music Industry." And it is technology which is making this industry possible, merging great technology together with great music. In this session we continue our on-going day-long discussion of how the new technologies are making possible the growth of the music industry, while recognizing that the implementation of these new technologies can threaten the copyright protection that artists are entitled to enjoy.

Digital Storytelling @ Digital Hollywood

Join the members of the Digital Story Exchange for an exploration of swapping digital stories across all available bandwidths. They'll cover tools, techniques, tips, and tricks, and show how forward-thinking corporations such as Coca Cola and Price Waterhouse Coopers use digital storytelling to transform communications with the various communities they serve. They'll demonstrate the enormous potential digital storytelling has to enhance community-building.

Session A E-Commerce for Media Companies and their Enterprise Partners

As every corporation now knows, the ability to leverage its business on the Internet is not only a necessity or an interesting addition to its business model, the strategic approach to transacting E-business holds the potential of separating itself from the competition or finding itself losing market share. E-commerce is not a matter left to the techies, as if the strategic importance of the company Internet was simply a matter of T1 "security" or the integrity of the "firewall." Understanding the strategic value of E-Commerce for all companies, from media companies, retailers and manufacturers alike is a critical part of the business models being developed by all top management. In this workshop we will take a strategic approach to understanding how E-Commerce will emerge over the next 18 months in an effort to help you better gauge the needs of your own company.

Session B Implications of Emerging DTV, Internet, HDTV & Broadband Technologies

Hidden under the hood of each of the entertainment and communications appliances that we take for granted are amazing new technologies which make possible a wide range of possibilities from streaming video on the Internet, TVs on PCs to the magic of DTV. Much of what will be possible in the future home entertainment environment will depend on innovation in the compression technology sector. In this session we will address the limits of what technology can offer today and what we can expect to see a year or two down the road.

2:30 PM - 5:00 PM
Session A Selling Entertainment and Consumer Electronics on the Web

It is only natural that the web retailers of music, videos, books and other packaged goods would find a natural extension in their online offerings leading to the world of entertainment devices. Who is the prime purchaser of compact disc players, MP3 players and computer audio blasters? Music fans who buy CDs are. What might not make sense in a brick and mortar establishment, might be just the right fit online. Where should you buy a TV set online? How about at the same website where you buy videos. The online world is only first beginning to extend itself into related horizontal markets and in this session we will explore how the experts believe the expansion will take place. David Friedensohn, CEO and Chairman, BigStar Entertainment Dave Rochlin, COO of Reel.com Alan Kipust, Chief Operating Officer, CheckOut.com Kathy Misunas, CEO, Brandwise.com David Gould, CEO, CustomDisc.com Laura Betterly, President, Visiosonic Mike Dubelko, President & CEO, DVD EXPRESS Peter Clemente, Vice President, Cyber Dialogue, Moderator

Session B Strategies for Broadband-Narrowband Entertainment

The entertainment industry is in the enviable position of having a multitude of mediums through which to reach its audience and because of the enormous success of the Internet - even in its narrowband form - the wait for unlimited-bandwidth becomes a secondary question while evolving an aggressive marketing and programming position in the current space. While some companies may view narrowband options as an extension of their marketing department - chat sessions with the stars of TV shows or Internet treasure hunts to promote the opening of a film - the fact of the matter is that every media entity, from news shows to comedies, dramatic series and feature films must find their appropriate compliment in the multi-million user narrowband environment as well as secure a firm understanding and strategy for its role in the emerging broadband world. In this workshop, experts will examine exactly how these options are evolving. The intent is to better understand how to address the massive narrowband audience while at the same time tight-rope the leading edge of broadband.

Session A Consumers Interact with Computing/TV Devices - The Future of Commerce

Understanding how a consumer navigates a website, responds to hard or soft advertising or interacts with new technologies intended to entice or help satisfy curiosity will play a tremendously significant role as we persevere through and enter the world of e-commerce. There is much more that we don't understand about consumer acceptance, values and choice-making than what we do know. In this session we will explore how "vision technologies" and other interactive techniques are revolutionizing the way consumers interact with computers, next generation TVs and other interactive devices. We will try to understand the landscape of a future world where computers can see into the "real" world, make sense of what they see and respond accordingly. Michael Sepso, Co-CEO, Gotham Interactive John deTar, Vice President Sales, Unicast Bill Howe, President and Chief Executive Officer, Telecruz John Levy, Co-Founder and Chief Media Strategist, ePlanet.com Rick Rasansky, President and CEO of eCal Phillip Swann, Publisher, TV Online magazine, Moderator

Session B Personalized E-Commerce Sites for the Consumer

The key to success in the web business, just like the brick and mortar trade, is bringing your customer back. But on the Internet it's sometimes harder to keep a customer in place after he's parked the car in your mall then it is in the "real world," simply because at a click of the mouse, he's out of here. Making the customer at home and making him bond with your site, is the key. To that end, advanced e-commerce sites have developed highly sophisticated techniques in personalization to satisfy the customer's needs, from providing calendars, e-mail, local weather reports, personalized stock summaries as well as personalized shopping aides such as those that secure the lowest price on a host of products and services that you "know" your customer wants. It not only makes good business sense to provide all of these useful "features," it's what makes the Internet so great. Customer satisfaction combined with continual technological innovation is the key to personalized e-commerce success. Jeet Singh, President and CEO, Art Technology Group Bonnie Lowell, CTO & Exec.

11:15 AM - 12:30 PM
Session A Internet Advertising Strategies - Implementing National versus Local Programs

As your website develops into a massive economic enterprise with hundreds of thousands of regular visitors, you must develop a coherent advertising plan that performs multiple functions. It must produce advertising that not only maximizes your revenue potential but also serves your audience. While national brand advertising may produce revenue and appear to enhance your website, often it is the local and specific target product advertising, that may produce better sales results and a higher satisfaction level with your user. Therefore, getting to know and service your user community must be the first priority in developing your advertising plan. While this may appear obvious, an entirely new advertising industry has emerged specializing in this area of expertise. We welcome them to this session. James Aguilar, Director, Network Media Group, WebTV Networks Chris Holden, Chief Executive Officer, Kesmai Corporation Eric Heneghan, CEO, Giant Step Mike Leo, Co-Founder & CSO, Avenue A Internet Media Shelley Morrison, Vice President, Advertising Sales, RealNetworks Thomas Flanagan, Director, Business Development, Telogy Networks, Moderator

Session B Developing Online Promotions - Traffic & Brand

Online promotions may be the best kept secret on the web. Who isn't intrigued by the idea of a sweepstakes? In fact, the idea of participating in a sweepstakes, getting involved in the process, is far more important to the user than even winning. If that weren't true, why would millions of people - who are all holding the losing tickets in the last lottery - be coming back again for more. The sizzle is what sells and in this session we bring together web pioneers in the emerging field of web promotions, sweepstakes, and brand and traffic building ideas. Steve Krein, CEO and Co-founder, Webstakes, Moderator Roy Anderson Jr, Director of Sales & Marketing, The Webby Awards Andrew Collins, Director of Business Development, Thingworld.com Peter Byrne, VP Marketing, Embark.com Mark Smelzer, Vice President Entertainment, L90 Darien Dash, CEO, Digital Mafia Entertainment

1:00 PM - 2:15 PM
Session A Building Compelling 3D Communities and E-commerce Venues on the Internet

All content and entertainment websites and online communities are searching and exploring new ideas in e-commerce and interactive capabilities for their website's design and functionality. For a number of years, there has been an exploration of the online possibilities in utilizing compelling 3D multi-user worlds where users can "jump" into and navigate as 3D avatars as well as socialize and communicate with each other, with the goal being the conduct business, purchasing of products or just exploring ideas. These virtual worlds are becoming more easy to create and maintain, and in this session we explore the state of this technology as a solution for building advanced online communities, e-commerce venues, and online collaboration applications. Lincoln Wallen, Chief Strategic Business and Technology Officer, MathEngine Rick Noll, CEO, ActiveWorlds Patrick Kitano, Vice President, Blaxxun Interactive Sharleen Sy, Founder & VP, Marketing, CYBERWORLD International Larry Samuels, President and CEO, Communities.com Tom Tidrin, President, Worlds.com Gregory Peter Panos, Co-Chairman, SIGGRAPH-Los Angeles, Moderator

Session B E-Commerce is About Partnerships - Structuring Your Web Relationships

For web entrepreneurs, deal making is everything. Note how successful e-commerce based websites evolve and you will notice that the logos of "partners" continually pop up on their sites. In the world of the web, very few companies are trying to do-it-all themselves when there are literally thousands of potential partners waiting to help leverage your company to the next level. Why should you set up your own electronics store with all the associated headaches of inventory and fulfillment when top brand retailers are waiting for your business? Ten strong outside relationships may produce as much profit for your company as a fully realized in-house catalogue. In this session we will examine how e-commerce web relationships develop and what kind of results they get. Brian Hecht, CEO and President, Enews.com Bill McCloskey, Evangelist, Comet Systems Jonathan Kaplan, Co-founder, Chairman and Chief Strategist, FamilyWonder.com Steve Nelson, President, Brilliant Media, Moderator Additional speaker to be announced

2:30 PM - 3:45 PM
Session A DVD, Home Video and other Entertainment Devices

Home video in its ubiquitous VHS format or in the new digital formats of DVD still represent the most popular form of home entertainment for the consumer. Add that together with the new personalized TV playback devices and you have what is probably still the most productive product marketplace in consumer electronics universe. In this session we bring together executives who will discuss the current home video market condition and how it will evolve in the digital living room. How do we plan the next 18 months in home video? How quickly is DVD catching on? How will the personalized TV and DTV impact the bottom line of the home video market?

Session B The Household, Internet or Mobile Appliance - The Personal Taskmaster

With the introduction of Java, the CE operating system, the Network Computer and other innovative technologies, an entirely new range of products are emerging or are on the horizon. The world of handheld personal assistants, home or mobile information devices and an array of convergent consumer electronic, computer or telecom devices are on the way. In this workshop we will hear from the companies involved in the development of these new consumer appliance technologies.
