NewTeeVee hosting "NewTeeVee Live: The Year of TV Everywhere" conference on November 12

Although I am not personally a big fan of conferences, I am a big fan of Liz Gannes, Chris Albrecht and the NewTeeVee crew (and their chief, Om Malik).  NewTeeVee Life  definitely has some interesting subject matter and they've even got a convergence measurement guy from Nielsen on a panel. Here's a post I snatched directly from Liz:

Time to stop procrastinating and reserve your ticket to NewTeeVee Live! Today, Oct. 16th, is your final chance to buy a discounted pass to the conference. For just $395 (a sliver of other industry conferences, and $200 less than our walk-in ticket), you’ll get a jam-packed day of interviews with industry heavyweights, demos of the devices soon to hit your living room, and previews of the next generation of video giants.

Some of the timely topics our speakers will be addressing:
TV HERE, THERE AND EVERYWHERE:

Amy L. Banse, President, Interactive Media & SVP, Comcast
Brian Fuhrer, SVP, Program Leader, TV/Internet Integration, Nielsen
Erik Flannigan, EVP of Digital Media, MTVN Entertainment Group

OVER-THE-TOP AND THROUGH THE WOODS:

This morning I received an email from Ian Gardiner, CEO of Viocorp, who said he’s flying out from Australia for the event. So the rest of you have no excuses!

If you're the conference going sort, you should give it a look, especially if you're in the San Francisco area.  If you go, please be sure to ask Brian Fuhrer from Nielsen the following:

"Robert Seidman says convergence measurement is overrated, and that as long as the ads aren't the same advertisers don't care and that it is just something the the television networks (and, to a lesser degree ad brokers like Carat) rant about while their existing business models get ravaged because the new models aren't paying nearly as much as the old ones.  Does Nielsen really believe in convergence measurement or is it just something to satisfy its biggest customers (the TV networks) who are are ranting as their business models get ravaged?"
