Broadband Enhanced Television to Play Key Role in the Future
Of New Media Technology
NEW YORK, April 27 /PRNewswire/ -- With broadband moving into high gear,
eTV World -- the leading conference on the convergence revolution and its
effects in the business and home -- will be an innovative showcase at New
York's newest technology event: TECHXNY. Taking place June 25-28, 2001 at the
Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, TECHXNY (http://www.techxny.com) is a new
venture created by CMP Media LLC, and is designed to unite those companies and
associations who are instrumental in shaping today's business and technology
solutions. At the apex of TECHXNY is the 19th Annual PC EXPO, the premier
information technology trade show.
eTV World will feature a 100+ speaker conference and an 8,000 sq. foot
pavilion showcasing the growing trend to more useful televisions, mass
adoption of internet/interactive features, next generation "Bricks & Clicks"
strategies and the growing interest in home networking -- a major driving
force in home technology sales.
"eTV World is about the total sweep of change," says founder and executive
program director Alan Brody. "Unlike old interactive TV, which sounded to many
like 'work TV,' eTV World is about a new generation of TV and communication
'served up your way.'"
This conference will highlight the major companies driving the future of
this exciting next step in the New Media revolution, and feature top of the
line speakers. Past panels have included leading executives from companies
like WorldGate, Microsoft, Wink TV, ACTV, iBeam, Dot TV, Virage, Yack!,
Liberate, ICTV, Yahoo Broadcast.com, Cylo, PBS, and ABC.com.
"There are almost four times as many TVs than PCs in the average
household," says Allison Dollar, eTV World's program director and co-host,
"and everyone, not just this coming generation of youth, expects their TVs to
do more for them. As lines between advertising and commerce becomes more
efficient, there will be no end to what TVs can do."
Mr. Brody adds that " ... the convergence industry has learned that mass
adoption only occurs after the technical influencers give their thumbs up, and
that is why eTV World is at TECHXNY/PC EXPO. This is the ultimate platform to
demonstrate to adoption leaders the future of time shifting communicative TV
with rich streaming options, ubiquitous ASP functionality and wireless
extensions. eTV is the moneymaking catalyst of all these exciting but not-yet
profitable technologies."
"New York is the media capital of the world, so what better place to host
an event like eTV World? We're thrilled to have the conference join us at
TECHXNY/PC EXPO," said Christina Condos, TECHXNY/PCEXPO's Show Director. "eTV
World represents a cross-section of the true movers in digital media; our
attendees will benefit from the convergence of luminaries and pioneers from
Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Madison Avenue and Wall Street presenting at this
event."
TECHXNY (http://www.techxny.com) will feature a full week of other
exciting conferences, education summits and special events. The PC EXPO
exhibition will showcase top IT vendors and solution providers, offering
attendees a chance to explore the newest developments in mobile and wireless
