Open Video Conference October 1-2

by | August 19, 2010 | Announcements, Conference | Comments Off

Registration is open for the Open Video Conference scheduled to take place at the Fashion Institute of Technology on October 1-2 in New York City.  The Open Video Conference (OVC) is a multi-day summit of thought leaders in business, academia, art, and activism to explore the future of online video. The first Open Video Conference was host to more than 800 guests, including 150 workshop leaders, panelists and speakers. More than 8,000 viewers tuned in from home to watch the live broadcast. The event earned coverage in WIRED, NewTeeVee, BBC News, Filmmaker Magazine, and The New Yorker.

This year, OVC is expanding. In addition to highlighting the industry’s progress toward HTML5 and open video, OVC2010 will feature inspiring talks, hands-on workshops, technology working groups, film screenings, and much more. It’s as much about the underlying technologies as the people and projects who use them. Whether you are a developer, a storyteller, an entrepreneur, an academic, or just a citizen of the web, OVC will spark your imagination for what’s possible with video on the web.

The Yale ISP is a founding member of the Open Video Alliance, launched in 2009 as a coalition of organizations that aims to maximize free expression and innovation in online video.

Open video is the idea that the moving image should belong to everyone. This vision requires not only free and open video technologies, but also that viewers are empowered to go beyond just watching—creating, sharing, and engaging in the multimedia public sphere they now inhabit.
