Dear Experts,
As many of you know, I have been involved with IMTC for a number of years. IMTC (www.imtc.org) invites you and your organization members to participate in its 20th Anniversary Forum taking place in Porto, Portugal between the 8th and 10th of October.
This year we are focusing on WebRTC, H.265, spatial audio, VoLTE and video clouds, with some of the biggest names of the industry sharing their knowledge and vision about these technologies. We have a glittering list of keynote speakers:
Laurent Philonenko - VP & CTO, Collaboration Technology Group, Cisco
Pedro Falcão - Director (Deputy CTO), Network Engineering & Planning, Portugal Telecom
Touradj Ebrahimi - Professor, Head of Multimedia Signal Processing Group, EPFL
Annicken Rød - Founder & Evangelist, Corporate Spring
Tom-Erik Lia - CEO and Co-founder, Videxio
Jeff Pulver - Chairman, Zula
In the video coding session, you will happy to learn that 2 of our SG16 friends and colleagues, Thomas Wiegand and Sakae Okubo, will be presenting.
The theme of the IMTC 20th Anniversary Forum is "Today and tomorrow of visual communications, building on 20 years of technology breakthroughs." As you can see in the agenda (http://imtc.org/forum2013/agenda.html), all our speakers will share their insight on the latest in Internet audio/video technologies, and discuss how we got here.
There is an early-bird special for registrants who complete their order by September 14th (http://www.regonline.com/builder/site/default.aspx?EventID=1233016) - so don't miss out! We look forward to seeing you there!
