Many readers know we have gone back into the tradeshow business. Two weeks ago we ran a successful Web Video Summit in San Jose, California. Our east coast version will take place in December in New York City.

I have also written about our upcoming Semantic Web Strategies event scheduled for late September. However a few days before the new SW show, we are running our first Digital Rights Stratgies event in New York City. Noted digital rights expert Bill Rosenblatt will be chairing the conference. Among other things, Bill edits our Digital Rights Management Watch Web site that is probably the only daily DRM focused publication in the world. Talal Shamoon, CEO of InterTrust will be keynoter.

Digital Rights in our fast changing digital world should be the concern of any organization involved with intellectual property. We believe that this new show is going to be the top conference for this topic.
