Sophisticated digital consumer devices such as the iPod, Xbox, Archos PMP, and Mobile Smartphones— along with the broadband networks that connect them—have quickly moved the distribution of content to the digital world. This is driving massive demand for new digital content distribution networks, in addition to an entirely new ecosystem of business and technology relationships. An entirely new industry is being formed. The competition is drawing players from diverse markets—including digital media, internet services, and Telecom/IP communications companies.

This event will examine the future landscape of ‘Digital Content Convergence’ and ‘Digital Media Distribution’ with a panel of expert speakers from all four content channels who have diverse backgrounds in Venture Capital, Telecommunications and Entertainment Majors and the emerging technology Eco-systems and Think-tanks of Hollywood.
