End Time: 8-Jan-09 1:30 PM

The future of TV is much more than just clearer pictures.
The HTDV/DTV conversion takes place in February 2009. Join WOSU Public Media General Manager Tom Rieland and IT Entrepreneur and Futurist Jake Saxbe as they explore the technology behind DTV and HDTV, as well as future trends in the television, Web, and IT industry.

HDTV has more that sharper pictures, as it has the ability to transmit data to computers. Interactive Television (iTV) and Web-based television (IPTV) are on the horizon. The possibilities for new business opportunities with the convergence of TV, data, and Web seem without limits:

What is the science behind and the new capabilities of DTV and HDTV?
What are the practical applications of data transfer available with HDTV?
Will TV one day go completely "on demand?
What are the latest products technologies being created around DTV (PVR's, Apple's iTV, mobile phones, SlingBox)?
What is the future trends in advertising?

Explore these questions and more at the WOSU Digital Media Center at COSI.

Many organizations adopt Agile processes like Scrum and XP. They become effective at iterative and incremental delivery, and increase their software quality higher than it's ever been. Yet they fail to harness the new productivity to deliver anything of real business value. If you want to avoid this common mistake, we can help!

At Pillar we have been leading creative advances in Agile technologies for over 10 years and have completed over 120 Agile projects. In doing so, we have experienced a few bumps along the way. We're very qualified to speak on what to do and what NOT to do!

During this no cost executive seminar, we will show how effective Agile product management can accelerate and increase ROI, and we will introduce an approach to identify high value feature sets - which we call Enterprise Value Modeling.

Attendees will learn the following:

What makes you Agile?
What parts of Agile are most important?
Where do you start?
How to prepare yourself for the Agile transformation?
What common mistakes to avoid?
Which inspection practices can keep you on track?
