Testimonials

"In terms of the TV of Tomorrow Show, you once again created a truly special and differentiated show, with quality and original panels, and a great group of mover and shaker attendees. We were delighted with the quality of conversations we had. Equally, the papers were of a high standard, as were the speakers. Tracy, Richard and their team are to be commended for creating a differentiated event that was both productive, and yet unusually enjoyable." -- Sam Pemberton, CEO, The Softel Group (Premiere Sponsor and Exhibitor)

"I have to say that, personally, I've really enjoyed TVOT the last two years. -- Ed Humphrey, CEO, Softel-USA (Premiere Sponsor)

“The TV of Tomorrow Show brings together a dynamic group of industry leaders all passionate about the future of interactive television.” -- Michele Bogdan, SVP Marketing, Ensequence (Premiere Sponsor)

"TV of Tomorrow was the place to be to meet the key people in interactive TV today. We also found the seminars informative and cutting-edge."-- Mike Malcy, VP of marketing and business development, Vidiom (Multiplatform Platinum Sponsor)

“The TVOT conference was exceptional as it was extremely focused and the attendees and speakers were the thought leaders from the industry including operators, networks and suppliers. I enjoyed our participation in the show.”. – Alexander Libkind, Co-Founder & COO, Zodiac Interactive (Exhibitor)

“Nexnet Corporation exhibited at the 2008 TV of Tomorrow Show. It was our first experience with this show and we chose this venue to launch our Pearl product to the public. Because Pearl is an interactive advertising solution, we knew Tracy's show would be the best place to connect with leaders in the industry who are focusing on interactive television. We made key contacts and were able to take those contacts to further discussions post show. It was a worthwhile event for us and we plan on attending next year.” -- Douglas Brown, VP, Sales and Marketing, Nexnet Corporation (Exhibitor)

"TV of Tomorrow stood out as a unique conference in many ways. It brought together a diverse range of talents and experiences from across the digital landscape, in a venue conducive to discussion and debate, delivering a fresh look at the television of both today and tomorrow." -- Matthew Huntington, VP of solutions marketing, OpenTV (Interactive Diamond Sponsor)

"I think the show was excellent. Your choice of moderators and panels was astute and resulted in some really high-quality discussion. I think the show will become a mini-institution." -- Amos Manasseh, VP of global sales and marketing for participation TV, OpenTV UK (Interactive Diamond Sponsor)

"The TV of Tomorrow Show was a who's who of the ITV industry--all in a personal environment where the break-out time was extremely valuable. The panels went deep into topics as opposed to the boring product presentations I typically sit through. This show picked up where the other big shows have left off. Thanks Tracy!" -- Tyrone Lam, former president, Buzztime Entertainment (Lunch Break Sponsor)

"The [itvt] TV of Tomorrow Show was a great success and has become a must-attend event for Navic Networks. Tracy and Richard's thorough reporting across interactive and multiplatform TV enables them to assemble relevant speakers and offer truly worthwhile panels on the industry's most compelling topics of the day." -- John Hoctor, VP of business development and marketing, Navic Networks (Exhibitor)


“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

"I was delighted by what I saw--the quality was fantastic." -- Seth Haberman, CEO, VisibleWorld

"I just wanted to send you a quick note to say how much I enjoyed the TV of Tomorrow conference. I thought it was a very well-done event on all fronts--the location/venue, the people attending and the discussions." -- Meredith Flynn-Ripley, CEO, Integra5

"I wanted to take this opportunity to tell you how great I thought the TV of Tomorrow Show was. I particularly enjoyed the diversity (both from a geographical and industry standpoint) of the attendees, which allowed for great panels/discussions as well as good schmoozing." -- Laurent Chemla, president and CEO, Ivy.tv (France)

"The conference was wonderful. It was both interesting and unique, as well as in the most beautiful setting of any conference I've been to recently! You should be very proud and I hope to attend many more in the future!" -- Jonathan Boltax, VP of programming and service management, Oberon Media

"The most substantive conference on that set of topics I have ever been to. Excellent top-notch panels. People that attended got a very true sense of what was going on in the industry. There was absolutely no grandstanding." -- Jon Dakss, VP of technology product development, NBC Universal
