IT backbone designs have radical opportunity for contribution to your company's bottom line\, but acceptance -- even understanding -- of the new tools has been slow. IT must also DELIVER\, with reliability\, cost effectiveness\, and security -- hard issues for experimentalists. Universal Communications for business -- Voice Integrated with Video Integrated with Data -- are imperative for global companies. Where do such tools as Skype Video fit with Google Wave? How do you get Cisco Telepresence capability combined with social networking values\, for reasonable cost? Where do the Virtual Worlds fit in the IT director's domain? Chuck House has some surprising answers based on Stanford research "on the ground" in key global companies. Bio: Chuck House\, Executive Director of MediaX at Stanford University\, has many innovative credits. Recipient of Dave Packard's Medal of Defiance\, the Smithsonian's Wizards of Computing award\, an ACM and IEEE Fellow\, and one of CNN's Top 25 products of the last 25 years\, House most recently led Intel's Research Collaboratory. He has led aaward-winning design teams at Dialogic\, Veritas\, Informix\, and Hewlett-Packard over many years. His new book\, The HP Phenomenon: Innovation and Buisness Transformation\, describes a company that changed its leadership products and services six times in six decades\, providing renewal momentum unparalleled in American business history. Gourmet dinner and wine are included. $20 online\, $30 at the door.

DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/2974538/ ] PLEASE NOTE - BOOKINGS MUST BE MADE THROUGH THE CHINWAG WEBSITE: http://chinwag.com/live/musicwhopays --------------------------------------------------------------------- Chinwag Live: Music - who pays the piper? As music streaming services take off\, will marketers make the jump from radio and pay the bill? Or is it time we paid the piper? Personal digital music consumption is changing\, from a world where paid-for downloads are dwarfed by illegal file sharing. Meanwhile\, new services like Spotify have taken consumers by storm adding 1m users in a matter of months with no US launch. Streaming music\, with social discovery and sharing is now in vogue\, but can it survive? The folding of ad-funded music providers such as SpiralFrog and Ruckus\, highlight the question of whether these business models are viable. The agency world meanwhile struggles to make the jump from old-school radio ads to the bells and whilstles offered by these streaming services. And what are the implications and opportunities for marketers? With licensing fees that favour subscription (8% rev share or 40p per subscriber) over ad-funded models (10.5% rev share or 0.085 per play)\, is there any mileage in advertising anyway? If listeners have to dip into their pockets for streaming services\, will the lure of illegal file sharing increase? Join the discussion as we explore the future for streaming audio services. PANEL: Dave Haynes - UK Manager\, SoundCloud Dom Hodge - Associate Director\, Frukt Music Helienne Lindvall - Journalist\, The Guardian Jon Mitchell - Sales Director\, Spotify Further panelists tbc. CHAIR: Steve Bowbrick (Complimentary drinks and snacks will be served) TIMINGS: 6pm doors open for drinks & networking. Discussion starts 6.30pm sharp. Debate ends 8.30pm - drinks and networking continue until 11pm.
