Conference Season has begun. After the great success of TechCrunch40 (their first event); DEMOfall is next week, followed in October by the Web 2.0 Summit and CTIA.
On Nov. 14, 2007, GigaOM will host a conference of their own, NewTeeVee Live. This day-long event, organized by NewTeeVee editor Liz Gannes and Om Malik, will bring together content creators, distributors, carriers, hardware vendors and more to decide what the future of online video will be in a post YouTube-Google world.
The event will be a live incarnation of NewTeeVee.com, combining discussion of the creative, business, and technology elements of online video. GigaOM are co-producing the event with Federated Media, who are helping them with both organizational and sales support.
The lineup so far includes Quincy Smith, president of CBS Interactive; Mike Afergan, chief technology officer at Akamai; Henrik Werdelin, chief creative officer for Joost; Dina Kaplan, COO and co-founder of Blip.tv; Garrett Camp, founder of StumbleUpon; David Carson, co-CEO of Heavy; and Matt Wasserlauf, CEO of Broadband Enterprises, amongst many others. They are in the process of adding more speakers to the event, so stay tuned!
In addition to the speakers and panelists, they will also be having a small launchpad event where new shows, products, services and startups can get on stage and show off their latest, greatest thing.
