From ben interframemedia.com Wed Apr 7 17:04:29 2004 From: ben interframemedia.com (Ben Waggoner) Date: Fri Apr 9 08:43:27 2004 Subject: [MPEGIF Discuss] 2nd annual Ben Waggoner Digital Compressionists party at NAB Message-ID: Everybody, The compressionists party we threw at NAB 2003 was a big hit, so we're going to do it again this year. It'll be Wednesday, April 21st, 4:30-7:30 pm, at the Las Vegas Hilton (attached to the Las Vegas Convention Center). This will be an informal drop-in event, with light snacks and beverages. There's no vendor sponsorship or demos - just a chance to hang out with our fellows in compression and talk about codecs, formats, tools, and everything else under the sun. Given the NAB buzz this year, I'm sure that HD and new formats for consumer electronics will be big topics. Last year was a pretty even mix of users and vendors. All are welcome. I do ask for a quick email to let me know if you think you'll come and with how many guests, so I can keep track of how much food and drink to bring in (and I'll then have your email address to send the suite number).
