IPTV to Again Take Center Stage at NXTcomm08

NXTcomm will highlight its IPTV offerings with an exhibit floor IPTV studio and expanded conference sessions, providing attendees with a hands-on experience featuring converging technologies and the latest concepts and IPTV equipment.

May 8th - Arlington, Va. – NXTcomm will highlight its IPTV offerings with an exhibit floor IPTV studio and expanded conference sessions, providing attendees with a hands-on experience featuring converging technologies and the latest concepts and IPTV equipment. NXTcomm replaces SUPERCOMM and is the one event delivering the ecosystem of network-enabled voice, video and data. The NXTcomm08 exhibit and conference comes to the Las Vegas Convention Center June 16-19 and will co-locate with InfoComm08, the leading audiovisual business-to-business marketplace. For more information, go to NXTcommShow.com.

Exhibitors including RGB Networks, IneoQuest, BitBand Technologies, Cisco Systems and Ericsson/Tandberg TV will highlight their offerings in the IPTV/Content Studio Product Pavilion in the South Hall, Lower Level.

“IPTV was the most requested keyword selection on the NXTcomm web site in 2007, giving further credibility to the dominance NXTcomm holds within the IPTV community in 2008,” NXTcomm Executive Director Wayne Crawford said. “In fact, NXTcomm buyer summaries showed more than 3,600 NXTcomm visitors identifying IPTV as their product interest of choice at the event. At NXTcomm08, exhibitors will be able to learn first hand how IPTV continues to transform traditional telecoms from market dominators into simply other competitors trying to grab a piece of the IPTV pie.”

NXTcomm08’s Original Conference Programming will include two IPTV-related sessions on Wednesday, June 18:  “Business IPTV: Training and Communications Made Easy” and “IPTV 2.0: Exploiting the Power of Web 2.0”

As part of its TechThink lineup of programming at NXTcomm08, ATIS will host the following business and technical track sessions on Tuesday, June 17:  “IPTV Implemented and Deployed - NOW WHAT?”; “Changing IPTV Business Models: What happens to Real Time Programming and Adverting in a "TiVo World?"”; “The Reality of IPTV Deployments - The Successes, The Challenges and Taking it to the Next Level”; “Service Providers and Content Providers Talk The Digital Rights Management Language”; “IPTV QoS and QoE – Service Differentiator in The Battleground of Competition”; and “IPTV Building Blocks: Back Office Support – Ordering, Billing, Provisioning, Customer Care – Are We There?”.  

In addition to a focus on IPTV, NXTcomm08 will feature keynotes by Survivor Producer Mark Burnett, AT&T Chairman and  CEO Randall L. Stephenson, Sun Microsystems Chairman and Co-Founder Scott McNealy, Verizon Chief Operating Officer Denny Strigl, Sprint Nextel President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel Hesse and CableLab’s President, Chief Operating Officer Dr. Richard Green and Telstra Chief Executive Officer Solomon Trujillo.
