I will be packing my bags tomorrow and leaving for the 1st Annual Global.TV Expo, which is an event that will be talked about for years to come. 

On the weekend of September 19th, those with a serious interest in the dot tv extension will descend on Cincinnati, Ohio to not only discuss dot tv, but also to get our hands around the issue of how the Iternet landscape continues to shape and influence society and commerce.  I spoke to Niko, one of the event organizers, and this event will cater to entrepreneurs, developers, and those fascinated by new media.  I expect to see everyone from those with a significant investment in the dot tv extension to those that have secured a few premium names, which are being held for speculation or development. 

The list of sponsors has grown considerably…

...since the event was first announced several weeks ago, including Hyatt Hotel, Montreal.tv, FincaBellavista, Vator.tv, name.com, CharityONE, Boston.tv, VideoClix.tv, Blip.tv, Farm.tv, NLV Media, and YourCity.MD.  The guest speakers include David Sams of Sams.tv, Bambi Francisco of Vator.tv, Kellie Peterson of Name.com, Chris Kouba of HamptonRoads.tv, and Lou Kerner of WildSites.com.  The event is packed full of opportunites to meet and network with other professionals in the domain space as well as meet those planning, designing, and developing the next generation of .tv destinations on the Internet.

In other words, it looks to be a promising event and you should attempt to catch the live video stream if you can’t make it!  Check out http://global.tv/tv-expo for more information.
