Los Angeles -- iHollywood China is to co-produce a daylong digital media conference with the Chinese government departments and China's largest television broadcaster, CCTV.

"This is a rare opportunity where the Chinese government will allow key Hollywood players to come face-to-face with Chinese officials and investors to develop exclusive digital media deals in China," said Michael Stroud, whose company, iHollywood Forum, has produced key digital media conferences since 2000.

"With nearly 500 million mobile users and 97 million broadband users, China is potentially the world's biggest digital media market. We are the digital media company who can provide this unprecedented access within the Chinese market."

On August 22, 2007, iHollywood China's one-day forum will kick-off with opening remarks by iHollywood China and iHollywood Forum co-founder/CEO Michael Stroud, to be immediately followed by six digital media panel discussions, including China's IPTV Rollout, China & the Olympics and other pertinent topics. The daylong program will close with a VIP gala dinner for attendees.

iHollywood China will connect top Hollywood and international technology executives with Chinese government officials, regulators and operators who are shaping the future of new media technologies in China. The US$695 ticket provides a 3-for-1 advantage to companies that participate: entrance to the day-long iHollywood China; entry to the China Digital Media Conference: and a free pass to BIRTV (Beijing International Radio, TV and Film Exhibition), the largest television and digital media trade show in China. The two summits will be simultaneously translated in English and Chinese and include numerous deal-making opportunities with Chinese delegates.

Chinese companies in attendance represent the entire range of emerging media in China, including IPTV, satellite television, pay television, broadband content and hardware, and mobile content. With just a year until the 2008 Beijing Olympics, foreign companies will have an unprecedented opportunity to showcase their cutting-edge content to the key Chinese officials overseeing the 2008 games.

Organizers of BIRTV anticipate more than 50,000 attendees and more than 400 exhibitors introducing their products and services to the growing Chinese economy. Last year, BIRTV hosted 417 exhibitors from 25 countries.
