Upcoming Conferences

Those who are cheering for the resurgence of interactive services should consider attending The Red Button Interactive Show. If you're going to NAB, there's a one-day IPTV summit in Las Vegas later this month.

Red Button Interactive

Although interactive TV services have become part of the landscape in some countries, the US has been slow to get on the bandwagon. Interactive applications are taking on new life in the US and the Red Button '06 event, sponsored by Shorecliff, will feature new interactive TV applications over all types of digital distribution. The event takes place in Seattle, Washington on May 16 and 17. ( www.shorecliffcommunications.com/redbutton )

IPTV World

If you are heading to Las Vegas for NAB, you might want to attend IPTV World, a one-day summit at the Las Vegas Convention Center on April 26, 2006. It will focus on IPTV opportunities, competition and ingredients for success. ( www.ihollywoodforum.com/iptvworldApril2006.htm )
