David Coursey Announces 23 Companies Chosen to Demonstrate at Digital Living Room Pavilion at CES Companies Represent Microcosm of CES Exhibitors in One Special Demo Area SAN MATEO, Calif., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Amidst the nearly 2,000 exhibitors and throngs of electronics buyers scheduled to attend next month's 1999 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, 23 companies will represent what industry pundit David Coursey sees as the best of what CES has to offer in 1999. Coursey will showcase these companies and their latest products in a special area on the show floor called David Coursey's Digital Living Room Pavilion at CES. Produced by the Consumer Electronics Manufacturers Association (CEMA), CES takes place Jan. 7-10, 1999 in Las Vegas. Coursey, Upside Events and CEMA have teamed up for the first time to extend the Digital Living Room conference to CES. David Coursey's second annual Digital Living Room conference is scheduled for June 20-22, 1999 at the Ritz-Carlton in Dana Point, Calif. For more information, visit www.digitallivingroom.com. David Coursey hand-picked the 23 exhibitors for the DLP Pavilion at CES, which include technology giants such as Compaq, Hewlett-Packard, Eastman Kodak and Hitachi, in addition to young Internet companies including 800.com, Liquid Audio and JAMtv. Companies selected for the Pavilion also will be able to conduct on-stage product presentations on a small stage in the Pavilion area. Exhibiting companies include: 800.com * LEGO Active Research * Lightware Alation * Liquid Audio Avio Digital * Media Stations Compaq Computer Corp [NYSE:CPQ - news]. * NetFlix Echelon * Nuvo Media Eastman Kodak Co [NYSE:EK - news]. * Replay Networks Electric Communities * Vadem Global Converging Technologies * Iready Hewlett-Packard Co [NYSE:HWP - news]. * TiVo Hitachi, America, Ltd., Computer Division, Multimedia Products * TeleCruz * JAMtv ''Digital Living Room Pavilion at CES gives companies of all sizes the opportunity to be get added exposure and demonstrate their products in a format that is available nowhere else at CES,'' Coursey said. ''The success of our Digital Living Room conference last year offered proof to the market's strong interest in new products for the tomorrow's digital consumer, so we felt that teaming with CEMA at CES was natural for us.'' Open Q DOes this mean that TiVo is heavily funded by HWP, Replay by Eastman Kodak?
