LAS VEGAS, April 11, 2000 -- Hewlett-Packard Company's Brice L. Clark, director of strategic planning for ProCurve Networking by HP, will participate today in the Technology 2010 panel discussion here at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) annual conference. Clark will contribute to the session titled "The Convergence of Entertainment and Technology: A View from the Year 2010."
Technology 2010 will explore how technology must work in tandem with the creative community and will never be an end in itself for entertainment. Questions will be raised on how broadcast cable, wireless and satellite are implemented, as well as how technology has expanded to the reach of the broadcaster.
"Today, we are the Jetsons," said session visionary and founder of Film Scouts Mayra Langdon Reisman. "And if this is not the future, the real question is where will we be in 2010?"
Various panel discussions will be held as part of the NAB Multimedia World Conference focusing on evolving technologies, applications and opportunities of the Internet and intranet. The goal of these discussions is to show ways to increase business revenues and efficiencies by using the Net.
NAB, the world's largest trade show, focuses on all aspects of television, radio, video, film, entertainment, interactive media, satellite/telecommunications and the Internet.
