Thanks to everyone that made the 5th Annual Digital Media Conference yesterday Thursday, June 26, 2008 at the Ritz-Carlton in Tyson’s Corner, VA, into such a great event! Almost 500 people showed up for what truly has become a "must-attend" event for media, entertainment and technology businesses, investors, and policy-makers involved in the digital distribution of media and entertainment. We'll be back with vlogs, more pictures and editorial coverage of the event shortly.

We are pleased to announce the addition of a new panel:
"Net Neutrality and Net Competition: The Battle for the Internet Pipes"

Speakers include:
Scott Cleland, Founder & President, Precursor, LLC (Chairman, NetCompetition.org)
Christopher Wolf, Partner, Proskauer Rose LLP (Co-Chair "Hands off the Internet")
Earl Comstock, President & CEO, COMPTEL

There are currently 425 attendees registered for the event - looks like this will be a "sold out" event.  Final headcount will be announced at tomorrow's event. 

We'll keep you posted on updates throughout the day.

Sincerely,
The Co-Chairs
