Tag It B2B Sites MusicDish & Mi2N Selected As Media Sponsors For DDMI EU 2001
New York, NY -- February 27, 2001, -- Tag It co-founder & CEO
Eric de Fontenay has been invited to speak at ddmi EU
(Digital Distribution & Music Industry) in London on April
2nd at The Royal Lancaster Hotel. His intervention on the
"Peer-to-Peer Systems" panel at the event will follow his
talk on "Peer-to-Peer and Its Applications" at the World Net
Economy Congress during net 2001 in Paris on March 28th.
Tag It and ddmi Global also announced an agreement for Tag
It and its B2B online media properties, MusicDish & Mi2N, to
be a media sponsor of the event. "We were impressed by the
list of participating speakers for this event and more
broadly, how the conference has evolved and expanded," said
Eric. "Weve been pleased with how theyre promoting the
event and sponsors, which has been important for our
European strategy."
"ddmi global invited Tag It to become a media sponsor of
ddmi Europe 2001 because it is recognized as a leading news
and information publication for the new media and
entertainment sector. I have no doubt in my mind that the
quality of Tag Its publications would help introduce ddmi
Europe 2001 to the calibre of industry executives we attract
to our shows" said Anita Agyeman, the event producer.
At the conference, Mr. de Fontenay will be joined by Cory
Doctorow (Chief Evangelist, openCOLA) and Daniel Harris
(Founder, Kendra Initiative) among others to examine how p2p
will shape digital distribution, next generation p2p music
applications and the business models that are likely to
result. Eric was recently invited as a guest on KCRW and
Public Radio Internationals "To the Point" to discuss the
recent 9th Circuit Court decision and its implications for
other p2p systems and consumers. He has previously given
keynote presentations on peer-to-peer to the French
e-commerce & multimedia association ACSEL (Association pour
le Commerce et les Services en Ligne) and the annual IDATE
Foundation Seminar which gathers its industrial members such
as Canal +, Ericsson, and France Telecom to discuss issues
impacting the telecommunications and multimedia industries.
