Insight Media Announces Inaugural HDTV Business Conference
January 4, 2006, MGM Grand, Las Vegas

(day before CES starts)
Presented by Insight Media and Elliott Schlam Associates

Insight Media, an international market research organization devoted to all aspects of the electronic display industry, announces its inaugural "HDTV Business Conference," to be held on January 4, 2006, the day before the formal opening of CES 2006, at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

As the HDTV revolution continues to unfold, new challenges and opportunities are emerging. The one-day HDTV Business Conference is designed to bring together top industry leaders to discuss these strategic challenges and opportunities. It is a great way for busy industry participants to understand the forces that are shaping the HDTV industry today and in the future.

While high-definition TVs are one major aspect of the DTV revolution, many other technologies and products are also advancing rapidly - and in the process, creating challenges and opportunities. Fortunes will be made and lost; some companies will rise and other will fall; technologies and products will emerge as winners and losers.

The HDTV Business Conference will help decision makers cut through the noise to focus on the key strategic issues and gather information to make critical business decisions.

In addition, the conference will provide attendees with access to the perspectives of high-level industry executives, identify the top business and strategic issues affecting profitability in the HDTV food chain, and assist attendees in gathering the critical information necessary for making strategic decisions.
