CES 2009
Speaker: Jim Louderback, CEO, Revision3
Date & Time: Friday, January 9, 2009 from 3-4 p.m. PT
Topic: Teaching the TV to be Internet Savvy
Internet Protocol TV is now a viable service and delivery method. Cable and satellite operators are moving to switched video networks that emulate systems like Verizon’s FIOS service. Hard drive storage devices cache content as consumers snap up the Xbox 360, AppleTV and Vudu to store content. Do these initial implementations point to the future?
CES Connections Summit
Speaker: Ron Richards, Senior Director of Marketing & Product Management, Revision3
Date & Time: Thursday, January 8, 2009 from 2-3:15 p.m. PT
Topic: The Five Ws of Social Media
Social media evolution has taken the world by storm. Social networks, blogs, user generated content, and virtual worlds are empowering consumers to share their digital lives with others through different types of media. With this transition, CE device makers must meet evolving consumer needs, but how? Which features must these devices have? What are the business models? Questions abound. This panel explores the evolving landscape of social media, emerging business models, and the technology with which consumers will want to use these services.
Revision3 executives and show hosts will be available at the NBC booth located at Central Hall, booth number 12133.
