Date: Fri, 19 May 2000 13:40:04 -0400 From: Paul Izbicki Subject: May 24 Boston Media100 UG/ITVA meeting Hi everyone. The May meeting of the Boston Media100 User Group will be held on Wednesday, May 24th at Pulse Media. We will be teaming up for this meeting with the Boston ITVA chapter, headed by Pres. Geoff Briggs, so I think we can expect a sizeable turnout. Speakers from Akamai Technologies and Bitcasting.com will present on recent developments in Streaming media, new hosting models from services providers, distributed servers, and ways of streaming MPEG over the Internet. The objective is to help us understand these new issues and how to factor them in to our own business plans as solutions we can offer to clients, or use as functional tools in the production process. Also, the Media 100 Users Group will do a post-NAB wrap up covering Convergence, developments in Graphics and Editing, new low cost High Definition tools, and production trends. Both segments will provide ample time for Question and Answer.
