Dear MPEGIF News Readers,

 

I hope that everyone is well and has taken time to enjoy the summer months.
I am proud to announce the addition of Markus Monig from Main Concept AG,
and Sean McCarthy from Modulus Video, Inc to the MPEGIF Board of Directors.
We look forward to working with them and anticipate they will bring years of
industry experience and expertise to MPEGIF. 

 

We are also excited to announce that once again we will be presenting a half
day Super Session at IBC 2006. Keep an eye out for information regarding
opportunities for exposure and involvement at IBC through MPEGIF.

 

I have one administrative reminder for MPEGIF members. If you have not yet
renewed your membership for 2006-2007 there is still time to send in your
payment. As always, if you have questions about membership please feel free
to contact our Coordinator Nicola Wissler at any time.

 

Lastly we encourage you to review the upcoming events listed below, and let
us know if you or someone from your company is participating at any of them.
MPEGIF would wants to promote our members activities whenever possible. 

 

I hope that you will find this latest edition of the MPEGIF News Digest

Kind Regards,
