Speakers

“Loved the experience!” -- Tiffany Schlain, Founder of The Webby Awards and CEO of The Moxy Institute

Wanted to take a moment to thank you for *another* terrific conference…the speakers, the warm-setting…most of all, the great, impromptu conversations that happen in-between sessions and in the coffee-runs bumping into folks you've been speaking with, but get to chat with on a whole other, more leisurely level. – Stephanie Gaines, VP, Planning, CBS

I absolutely love your event. I don't know how you've broken the code to making a conference completely enjoyable from start to finish. The crowd you gather is such a great mix of the long-standing industry experts and the next new hot startups. The networking opportunities are off the charts. Everyone I've ever met in the industry or read about in the trades and wanted to meet is there. The panelists and moderator combinations make for topical, interesting, educational panels. The beautiful San Francisco location ensures that everyone has more than their share of fresh air, and I appreciate the delicious and healthy food to keep everyone nourished. The extra creative touches you add are wonderful. Thank you! -- Rachelle Zoffer, Director, Interactive TV, Verizon FiOS

"Thanks very much for including me in your great conference. I enjoyed very much meeting you and getting to know some of the other participants. Overall, [it was an] exciting group of folks doing some fascinating things!" -- Peter M. Fannon, VP of technology policy, government and regulation, Panasonic Corporation of North America.

"Just wanted to congratulate you on such an interesting and well-run conference last week. I had a fascinating time listening to the speakers and schmoozing my ass off between sessions. I knew you'd created something especially good, as I found myself running up and down the stairs early Tuesday morning, not wanting to miss a bit of either simultaneously-happening session ("Battle of the Platforms" and "Interactive TV Standards"). The staff at Yerba Buena looked at me like I was nuts. Anyway, fantastic job. Great speakers and moderators throughout. Thanks for including me and I'm already looking forward to next year's." -- Tad Low, CEO, Spin the Bottle
