May 22, 2003, Medford, NJ—More than 2,500 gathered May 6–8
at the New York Hilton and Towers in New York, N.Y. for the Streaming Media
NY Conference and Exhibition.
Organized by Information Today, Inc. (ITI), Streaming Media NY united professionals
from all over the country to learn about the real-world implementations of
streaming media technology and applications in the enterprise, financial, and
government sectors.
The three-day conference consisted of 30 interactive sessions with more than
100 speakers and presenters from the technology and enterprise industries discussing
the practical business uses of streaming media today. On hand were many enterprise,
education, and government speakers representing companies such as Bank of America,
Bloomberg, CitiMedia, Columbia University, CSFB, Ford Motor Company, Harvard

Stanley, NASA, National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Standards & Technology,

facets of the streaming media process, including content production, encoding,
serving, and live broadcasts—everything from content creation to distribution.
The session also covered the strategic opportunities and practical issues to
be aware of when deploying streaming media in the Webcasting environment.
The exhibit hall at Streaming Media NY showcased the latest in streaming and
digital media technologies. Companies offered visitors a look into live Webcasting
applications, enterprise software applications, encoding and hosting, and more.
A steady stream of traffic filled the exhibit hall throughout the three-day
event, and the presentation theatre in the exhibit hall proved to be a valuable
addition for those visiting the exhibits.
