IP Democracy: Tom Rogers, Herb Scannell Lead New Video Summit


I'm proud to announce we've just landed our second keynote speaker for The New Video Summit, a great one-day conference slated for October 29 in Boston. Herb Scannell, former Vice Chairman of MTV Networks and now CEO of innovative online video start-up Next New Networks, joins Tivo CEO Tom Rogers as a keynote speaker at this event, which leads into Jeff Pulver's Video-on-the-Net show.

This is the second time I've run this event -- the first time was last March in San Jose. As was true of the first New Video Summit, we've lined up some great speakers for the upcoming fall conference. Aside from the first-rate keynote discussions, the New Video Summit will feature a group of people who are on the edge of this whole new video-over-the-web thing, including:

  • Ben Weinberger, CEO and Co-Founder, DigitalSmiths
  • Manish Bhatia, President, Global Services and U.S. Sales, Nielsen Online
  • Amir Ashkenazi, CEO and Co-Founder, adap.tv
  • Peter Naylor, SVP, Digital Media Sales, NBC Universal
  • Eyal Hertzog, Founder and Chief Creative Officer, Metacafe
  • Daphne Kwon, CEO, ExpoTV
  • Peter Clem, Vice President, Broadband Programming and Production, Scripps Network Interactive
  • Mike Hudack, CEO, President and Co-Founder, Blip.tv
  • Lindsay Campbell, Host, WallStrip
  • Morgan Webb, Host, WebbAlert
  • Rob Barnett, President and CEO, My Damn Channel Warren Chao, Co-Founder and COO, My Damn Channel
  • Jason Krikorian, Co-Founder, EVP of Business Development, Sling Media
  • Tara Maitra, Vice President, General Manager of Programming, Tivo Inc.
  • Dmitry Shapiro, Founder and Chief Innovation Officer, Veoh Networks
  • Michael Gordon, Chief Strategy Officer, Co-Founder, Limelight Networks

I try to avoid using my blog posts here to plug stuff, but this really is shaping up to be a great event. Plus -- an early bird discount worth hundreds of dollars is expiring tomorrow and if anybody is planning to attend Video-on-the-Net, VON or The New Video Summit, better sign up now to save the bucks.
