1. Keynote address by Matt Bostwick, SVP, Franchise Development at MTV Music Group
Matt Bostwick, SVP, Franchise Development at MTV Music Group will deliver the day one keynote address on Wednesday, March 28, 2007 in New York City. Bostwick leads the team responsible for Virtual Laguna Beach and Virtual Hills, which have earned acclaim in the media/entertainment industry for creating environments where viewers can live out the story arcs and programming they see on-air.
The platforms combine television, 2D web and 3D virtual communities in one integrated system and are also helping define next-generation media and advertising models. Other virtual worlds under development include: a global music-based experience that will unite music lovers worldwide; and LogoWorld, the ultimate exercise in user-generated content because it will be conceived from the ground up by members of the community.
