In just a few short hours I'll be boarding a plane from Oakland to New York City to attend the annual Streaming Media East conference and exhibition, held May 11-12th at the Hilton New York. I'm moderating a panel discussion, Media Framework: Video Publishing Platforms in the afternoon on Tuesday. For that session, I'll be joined by Bismarck Lepe of Ooyala, Ron Yekutiel of Kaltura, Daniel Webster of Media at Synaptic Digital and Jason Liebman of Howcast. We'll be discussing how the features, functionality and cost vary video publishing platforms, to give content owners a better understanding of what they need and what they should expect to pay for managing content.
The Streaming Media East show is now in its 13th year, and is one of the longest running conferences and exhibitions dedicated to the business and technology of online video. The wide variety of attendees range from content owners, viral video creators, online marketers, enterprise corporations, broadcast professionals, ad agencies, educators, and others who come to see and hear the latest online video technology but, more importantly, to discuss the business models that are coming of age. The pre-conference workshops and the Content Delivery Summit will be held today, May 10th.
I'll be live streaming updates via Qik.com as well as various updates on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and many other network where I'm syndicating my feed. You can follow the Streaming Media East Twitter updates here: Streaming Media (StrMediaShows) on Twitter with the hashtag #SMeast10. I just checked the feed and I see a lot of familiar faces gearing up for the big event as well.
I've packed portable and easy-to-use online video publishing tools (Kodak Zi8, microphones, tripod, cables, connectors, batteries, etc) to capture interviews throughout the two-day event. I'll also be joined by my good friend Mark Robertson, Publisher of Reel SEO.com and 2010 Streaming Media All-Star. We've confirmed a number of interviews already with a variety of online video executives from Encoding.com, Kontiki, VMIX, Sorenson Media, Wowza, and more to come. Stay tuned for updates and press releases from many of the companies participating in Streaming Media East, which should start hitting the wire within the next few hours and continue throughout the week.
If you didn't make it to Steaming Media East 2009 or the Content Delivery Summit this year or if you didn't see the live streams or selected video archives by ScribeMedia or TV Worldwide, you can now watch the official videos at www.streamingmedia.com/videos. There were over 40 sessions with nearly 170 speakers between the two events which brought together the best and the brightest minds in the online video industry to discuss the latest online video technology and the business models. All presentations from the sessions have been archived as well can be downloaded at www.streamingmedia.com/east.
Dan Rayburn said that most of the videos from the conference are available with a few more to be added over the weekend. As with the videos from the previous few years they're archived in a Brightcove media player with embed codes to insert in your website or blog. The videos were recorded, edited and encoded by Quality Tech's media services division. Like Dan, I'll also be highlighting some of the videos on the blog over the next few weeks.
In the meantime, here's a few more Streaming Media East related news stories I've included since my last post:

Streaming Media East came to a close today and the success of the 12th annual Conference and Exhibition was evident as it reached a milestone with record attendance.

A number of the sessions and keynotes were streamed live from ScribeMedia.org and TV Worldwide and TV Worldwide has an extensive collection of video interviews, keynotes and sessions here.

Streamingmedia.com: Streaming Media East Closes with Record Attendance New York - Streaming Media East 2009 (May 13, 2009) - The Streaming Media East conference and exhibition, held at the New York Hilton, closed today with an announcement of record attendance at the event. The total number of registered attendees was 3,733, which represents the largest number in the modern history of the event under the current ownership of Information Today, Inc.
“When we acquired this property in late 2002, we were aware of the potential of the Streaming Media events, but we started in the first year with only a few exhibitors, and around 100 attendees,” says Tom Hogan, Jr., V.P. of Marketing and Business Development. “The conference and exhibition has now grown, with the support of the industry, to be the leading online video event in the world. The fact that we set attendance records in such a challenging economy is nothing short of phenomenal, and a signal that online video has emerged as an essential communications tool, and a must-have for companies to succeed in today’s business environment.”
Akamai CEO Paul Sagan sees more waves of media disruption ahead.
Paul Sagan Sees Larger Implications Than Many Imagine Produced byHoag LevinsPublished:May 14, 2009
NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- How big of a game changer will online video watching ultimately be for the TV industry? And when will those changes really start to happen big time? According to Akamai CEO Paul Sagan, consumers are watching the tipping point occur right now and sweeping industry upheaval may come sooner and more dramatically than many imagine. Mr. Sagan was keynote speaker at this week's Streaming Media East Conference.
Streamingmedia.com: Streaming Media East: Verizon and boxee Want In To Your Living Room By Tim Siglin -- May 13, 2009 -- Keynotes from Verizon and boxee pushed forward the concept of getting online video into the living room, though each company takes a radically different approach. Day 2 of Streaming Media East opened with two keynotes, one from a representative of an established telecom and another from the founder of a software startup. The opening keynoter was Joe Ambeault, director, product development and management, video services for Verizon. He addressed the way Verizon handles a rapid development cycle, quipping "Yes, we're a telco and we do five 9's [99.999% uptime] but we also have an incubator approach for new technologies. Then we go to prototyping, and you'll notice I didn't say anything about positioning and business plans. We then move to 'do no harm' testing'...
Boxee, ESPN Discuss Cable-Cord Cutting and Online TV - Digits - WSJ By Andrew LaVallee -- May 12, 2009 -- Online video has become much more available to consumers in recent years, but its providers disagree over how much it will complement or cannibalize traditional television.
At the Streaming Media East conference in New York, Damon Phillips, a vice president at ESPN360.com, said he knows what it’s like to lose the battle for the TV remote and often watches games on his PC while his daughter sits in front of “Hannah Montana” on the tube. “It fuels more consumption across all of our platforms,” he said.
But Avner Ronen, CEO of Boxee, which makes software for watching Web video on TV sets, said the increase in streamed TV will naturally lead more consumers to rethink whether they want to also pay $60 to $80 a month for cable. “If online provides to you a better experience, I think some people will choose to cut the cord,” he said. He estimated that tens of thousands of Boxee’s 500,000 users fall into that category. “I think cutting the cord is a hard decision to make,” he said, but it’s easier for younger consumers, such as recent college graduates who may have never seen a cable bill...
From “Threadbanger,” Next New Networks’s online show for DIY clothes-makers
“The fresher the better,” he said during a Streaming Media East panel session on digital content production, “and don’t leave it sitting around for too long.”
For Mr. Shey’s company, which makes Web shows such as “Barely Political” and “Nite Fite,” videos made in advance or with block shooting don’t do as well, he said.
Makers of online content, if they consider themselves “conversational,” must plan and budget for revised material, response videos and other shifts that the audience’s reaction prompts, said Christine Beardsell, a creative director at Digitas’s branded-content arm, Third Act. “That stuff just has to be planned ahead...”

TV Predictions from Streaming Media East « Media Experiences 2 Go Posted on May 13, 2009 by Mari Silbey -- It’s a sign that the TV industry has changed when conversations from the Streaming Media East (SME) conference start sounding an awful lot like they could be transplanted directly from The Cable Show.
