Emerging Media Technologies Forum

Representatives from ABC Australia, ATSC, BSkyB, EBU, the Fraunhofer Institute, Grass Valley, IBM, Intel, NHK, Radio Television Hong Kong, Sony, Warner Bros.,
and zeebox will speak at The Forum on Emerging Media Technologies to be held in Geneva in May.

The Forum is an initiative from the Society of Motion Picture & Television Engineers (SMPTE) and is produced in collaboration with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU).

Over the course of two days The Forum will provide a science-based, non-commercial opportunity for executives and other senior leaders from the broadcast, broadband and cinema industries to discuss the most important and innovative research taking place over the next 10 to 15 years, with a particular focus on technologies likely to come to market within the next three years.

“At a time when technologies are remaking business plans and engineering roadmaps wholesale, this is the industry event for executives who are sorting out their near- and long-term strategic plans – and the only one to bring together leading motion-imaging technologists, researchers, scientists, practitioners, manufacturers, and strategic thinkers,” said David Wood of the EBU and the chair of the symposium’s programme committee.

Programme and registration information for The Forum is available at www.smpteforum.com. Regular updates will also be available via Twitter at #forum2012.

The early-bird deadline for registration ends 31 January.
