New Media Innovators Panel: The Future of IPTV

I am finally back and ready to hit LA again.  I was stuck in a virtual internet blackout because my hotel in Miami thought it was okay to charge $12.95/day for internet service.  Regardless, I am thrilled to be moderating a terrific panel on Wednesday, November 17th.  I hope you can join me in person in LA or via the live stream on Stickam.  All of the details are below:  


Join us for an evening of networking and live discussion about Long Form Web Broadcasts with the New Media Innovators Panel.

The focus of the discussion will be on the growth of the industry of Live formatted series and the successes that on-line web TV networks like The Room Live and Mingle Media TV Network are seeing.
