DRM Strategies Conference & Expo 2005
July 27-28 in New York City
Show Opens Next Week, Register Today! For information and to register go to http://www.jupiterevents.com/drm/fall05/registration.html _________________________________________________________ The DRM Strategies conference program is chock full of the most up-to-date, edifying and controversial content around digital rights management. The conference has become a gathering place for leaders on all sides of the DRM issue, and this year should be no exception. We have many exciting panels at the upcoming show, but would like to draw attention to a few of them in particular. - The Supreme Court's recent Grokster decision has a lot of reverberations for the DRM community, which will take a while to fully understand. Our panel on the case features speakers who were directly involved in the matter, including David Green of NBC Universal (formerly of MPAA) and Fred von Lohman of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. - As digital content moves further into the living room and the digital home, many big questions arise about the direction of content protection with respect to various types of devices; the battleground is among PCs, set-top boxes, and other types of devices including those yet to come. Our panel on DRM in Home Networks features representatives from a gamut of leading companies concerned with the development of this market: Microsoft, Warner Brothers, Philips Electronics and NDS. - Perhaps the biggest hot-button issue in the DRM world today is over DRM patent licensing. DRM intellectual property holders are seeking royalties from their inventions, while consumer device makers are reluctant to cut into their profit margins by paying them. We have a panel on DRM intellectual property that features speakers from both sides of the currently-raging debate on DRM IP licensing in the mobile arena and a patent attorney familiar with DRM-related litigation. - Enterprise DRM is finally maturing as a market, as the vendor scene starts to consolidate and the remaining leaders are starting to develop real-world implementations. Our Enterprise Rights Management Case Studies panel features three vendor/customer pairs, each of which will explain the business problem they hoped to solve and how ERM solved them. - Among the most important questions to be answered if DRM is to take off are those about what rights-related features consumers really want, and how much they will pay for them. We will provide answers to those questions at our conference, in the form of reports on consumer research from JupiterResearch, the European Union's INDICARE project and Marc Fetscherin of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. - We will have keynotes from three DRM industry leaders. Our conference keynote speaker will be Bill Krepick of Macrovision, a leading technology and intellectual property supplier to both enterprise and consumer media DRM markets. Our Media Track on the second day of the conference will feature a keynote from Bill Pence, CTO of Napster, who will discuss how his company has made DRM work on a massive scale. And the Day Two Enterprise Track will be keynoted by John Bruce, CEO of Authentica, who will bring a wealth of experience and vision to his discussion on enterprise info security and how DRM technology fits into it. - Finally, the first day of the conference will include a DRM tutorial from Bill Rosenblatt, President of GiantSteps Media Technology Strategies, Editor of DRMWatch.com and Conference Program Chair. This tutorial, a slightly scaled-down version of one that has been given at leading entertainment and technology companies, will cover DRM-related topics including business models, technology, legal background, a survey of the market, and future trends. It should be appropriate both for the DRM "newbie" and for someone who is knowledgeable and wishes to place the rest of the conference in the context of an over-arching framework. _________________________________________________________ To view the full conference program please visit http://www.jupiterevents.com/drm/fall05/glance.html
