With online video quickly becoming one of the hottest technologies on the Internet, more and more content and broadcast executives are scrambling to learn both about the technology and how to profit from it. For many executives, the Streaming Media East (www.streamingmedia.com/east, May 15-16, NYC) conference & exhibition is a "one-stop shop" for their entire staff to learn about streaming, Webcasting, downloading, and all forms of online video. Now in its 10th year, the Streaming Media East show boasts the largest audience and exhibitors of any show focused on online video and the largest roster of speakers who are creating, producing and adopting online video products and services.

The Streaming Media East conference organizers, led by online video guru Dan Rayburn, have reworked the program to give attendees more "how-to" sessions providing step by step instructions on how to implement online video and be able to apply it immediately within their organization.

"The Streaming Media East show is the largest and most interactive conference in the industry for attendees to learn about the distribution and delivery of online video to any IP connected device," said Dan Rayburn, conference chairman.

This year's conference will feature two keynote addresses: on Tuesday, May 15, Sean Alexander, Director, Video Platform for Microsoft, leads off with his address, "Microsoft's Next-Generation Rich Media Platform." The following day, Martin Nisenholtz, Sr. VP of Digital Operations for The New York Times Company, discusses "Video Journalism on the Web: Where Is It Going?"
