1. ROB WELLS, SCOTT COHEN AND PETER BUCKINGHAM TO SPEAK AT WWW2006

I'm really pleased that Rob Wells (Divisional Director, New Media and 
Digital Services, Universal Music Group UK), Scott Cohen (Founder and VP 
International, The Orchard) and Peter Buckingham (Head of Distribution and 
Exhibition, UK Film Council) have all accepted our invitation to speak at 
the W3C conference in May. You'll find more information about these 
speakers at:
 
http://www2006.org/index/05.php

A big thanks to Jon Webster, of the British Phonographic Industry, for 
connecting us with Rob and Scott; and to Nick Pearson, of the British Film 
Institute, for bringing Peter to us. That brings our search for media 
speakers to a close. We have organised 7 speakers and 2 x 1.5 hour sessions 
for WWW2006. Phew! It's going to be fun.
 

2. SPONSOR WWW2006 MEDIA INDUSTRY EVENT FOR MASSIVE PUBLICITY

You are invited to sponsor the Media Industry special event at WWW2006. 
This is a unique opportunity to promote your products, services and events 
to a technical and media savvy crowd. You'll be openly endorsing and 
encouraging collaboration between key players from media and technology 
industries. Your brand will be made synonymous with the media industry at 
the prestigious WWW2006 conference.
 

Your name will not only be foisted in front of the evening's lucky select 
and the rest of the 2000+ conference delegates but will also be featured on 
the web site and in email newsletters; and it'll be up in lights, along 
side the likes of top brands: Siemens, Microsoft, Verisign, Yahoo!, etc; 
and we'll be getting press and media along too.
 

Oh, and did I forget? It's sure to be a rip roaring fun evening too with 
live music, dance, food and good company. Please pass on this great 
opportunity to your friends. For more information contact Daniel Harris (by 
reply) and see:

3. REDISTRIBUTE WWW2006 PRESS RELEASE

Please redistribute the WWW2006 press release to your internal, external

media and technology industries. For the text see:
