Jupter launching Web Video Summit and Web Video Universe
Following its plan to build up the JupiterEvent division, Jupitermedia (JUPM) has announced the launch of its latest tradeshow called Web Video Summit for those who create and or distribute video over the internet. The first show will be held on June 27th and 28th in San Jose and will be headlined by Dave Burstein. In addition Jupiter will be launching a companion website with an interstellar name called ‘WebVideoUniverse.com’ featuring information, news and resources related to this growing community.
"We're excited to launch Web Video Summit, which brings together the 'doers' of this exploding industry. This is a critical time for this market as not a day goes by without a mention of sites like YouTube and how organizations are feverishly working on ways to monetize video distribution over the Web," stated Alan Meckler, Chairman and CEO of Jupitermedia Corporation.
