It was a very low volume day. Hope we hear some news soon. Maybe something will come out after the Washington meeting of the AIM--it's only a week and a half away.
Association for Interactive Media To Gather Industry Leaders for Washington Meeting Nov. 16 - 18
Prominent experts from over one hundred companies representing the telecommunications, entertainment, online services, cable, and television industries will meet in Washington, D.C. for CouncilRama2, a forum for the 18 Leadership Councils of the Association for Interactive Media (AIM).
The three day event, which will take place Nov. 16, 17 and 18 at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Va. will bring corporate leaders from virtually all segments of the interactive media industry together to discuss the growth, stability and future of the interactive media sector.
Among the industry leaders who will be sharing their expertise with attendees are; Regis McKenna of the McKenna Group, Tony Rutkowski of Next Generation Internet, William C. Samuals of ACTV Inc., Ken Lim of the CyberMedia Group, Adam Clayton Powell III of the Freedom Forum, and Peter Yunich of American Interactive Media.
''As the new media industry continues to grow, cross-pollination within its diverse businesses continues to grow,'' said Andy Sernovitz, president of AIM. ''This forum allows industry decision makers to meet on a regular basis to discuss directions and how to work together to achieve common goals. We expect to make substantive decisions on everything from Web commerce, to cable modems, to online marketing.''
In addition to being able to attend special Washington sessions on new media public policy and standards, attendees will participate in a number of council meetings and roundtable discussions while also being able to take advantage of the networking opportunities that AIM has become famous for.
Companies and organizations like WorldGate, NEC, ICTV, Media Metrix, The Weather Channel, ParentTime, Modem Media, MSBET, MindSpring, CableVision Systems, Relevant Knowledge, Freedom Forum, ACTV, General Magic, IBM, Product Partners Inc., National Association of Broadcasters, Trinity Partners, Digital City: Washington, Telecommunications Research Inc., Arbitron New Media, and Manhattan Pacific Multimedia, are just a few of the leading companies participating.
Known as ''the Rolodex of the new media business,'' the Association for Interactive Media represents the interests of over 300 major new media companies. AIM's members enjoy company-wide benefits including members-only networking events, comprehensive information tracking and executive level referral services.
Companies including CyberGold, Infoseek, CNN Interactive, Cablevision, Intel, Sprint and SegaSoft rely on AIM for the competitive advantage needed to succeed in the interactive industry.
