Literaturhaus, Munich, Germany

The need for IPTV and the convergence of various networks and services have created challenges and opportunities for personal video recording. Should the content and intelligence reside at the premise or the provider? This question along with many others will be addressed by the consultancy [tbb\*] thebrainbehind with sponsoring partner Siemens and experts around the world in this year's conference, 'PVR Outlook 2006 - IPTV rising'.

New business models and an expected paradigm shift in consumer behavior are the main issues the industry has to deal with today. The 'PVR Outlook 2006 - IPTV rising' would like to provide decision makers and experts with both a well-balanced overview on the strategic issues and a reasonably moderated panel discussion, where the most interesting details of this complex market are highlighted and discussed in depth. International experience, study results and new solutions from all over the world will be presented. Focus will be the rise of IPTV and its consequences for PVR applications, a spotlight on interactive advertising including PVR and on-demand solutions and last but not least an interesting discussion on the legal aspects involved.

Speakers include:

• Stefan Jenzowsky, VP Business Innovation at Siemens Communications
• Jean-Christophe Dessange, Business Development Manager at Cisco Systems
• David Gillies, Chief Technology Officer at Pace Microsystems
• Elena Branet, Senior Marketing Manager at Microsoft
