iHollywood Forum


Digital Living Room, one of the oldest conferences about the future of home entertainment, focuses this year on the future – the technologies that are most likely to transform consumer experience in 2010. Set at the end of 2009, the summit will examine which of the products unveiled at CES in January are likely to catch fire and which will fail. At the same time, it will assess a historically challenging 2009 for its successes and missteps.

Small and selective, DLR is focused both on identifying the technologies of the future and putting together in one room the entrepreneurs, investors, technology companies and professionals who will lead the next round of technology innovation.

DLR 2008

Among the topics:

• How the battle for marketshare between cable operators, satellite providers and telcos will shape up in 2010.
• Most promising technologies for the connected living room.
• The arrival of 3D television.
• Wireless innovation in 2010.
• Evolution of the VOD market.
• Social television.
• New paradigms – and audiences – for games
• Cloud computing and the living room

As always, the show will conclude with a no-holds-barred venture and investment pitch session from companies with products and services aimed at the digital living room. Venture capitalists and strategic investors give unvarnished opinions of presenters, giving attendees a clear vision of what Silicon Valley thinks is hot in 2010.

Held in the heart of Silicon Valley, Digital Living Room draws attendees and speakers from the San Francisco Bay Area, Hollywood, the U.S. and the world.
