I will presenting “Time Shifting Entertainment” at FITC Toronto 2007, that takes place April 22-24, 2007 in Toronto, Canada at the Toronto Hilton. The presentation tends to be a pretty high level discussion about media consumption and distribution shifts. It starts with a look at history, transitioning into what is currently happening with media, and finally gives a personal forcast for the future. The media I focus on is video, but the principles can be applied to others as well. The presentation doesn’t get to technical, though I do show some personal application examples (ex:Cartoon Network Video, Toonami Jetstream, Adult Swim Fix, and the CBS Affiliates’ video integrations) and explain elements they contain that are key for them being viewed as a success.

The presentation is a little dated, with some of the future predictions actually occurring now. I may update it, and also add in recent work done with SonyBMG, Playstation America, SuperDeluxe, and others. I’m hoping to keep it interesting to a more technical audience, as well as still appeal to the more general one. Regardless, I’m excited to be presenting and look forward to seeing everyone in Toronto.
