Glowpoint Provides Video Communications at Annual Blu-ray Industry Conference, Featuring Martin Scorsese
HILLSIDE, N.J. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Glowpoint, Inc. (OTCBB: GLOW),
a leading provider of managed services for telepresence and video
conferencing, today announced it provided a solution to present featured
keynote speaker filmmaker Martin Scorsese in New York to an audience in
Los Angeles as part of the home entertainment industry's second annual
Blu-ray conference, called Blu-Con 2.0, on Tuesday, November 3, 2009.
Glowpoint's solution involved a high-definition, two-way interactive
video session, established through Glowpoint's video cloud (known as
"TEN" ), which enabled the Academy Award-winning director to present from
the Director's Guild of America offices in New York City to 450 event
attendees in Beverly Hills, California. The annual event is specifically
designed to bring together a variety of creative, marketing, and
business experts from across the entertainment, IT, and consumer
electronics industries to discuss Blu-ray's role in today's home
entertainment environment.
"Glowpoint's ability to combine the highest quality image via the
Internet in a fully- interactive environment made it the logical choice
for this event, which has gained the widespread support of the Hollywood
community," said Martin Porter, Blu-Con 2.0's executive producer.
Blu-Con 2.0 was sponsored by major Hollywood studios, including Lionsgate
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, 20th Century Fox Home
Entertainment, Universal Home Entertainment, Walt Disney Studios Home
Entertainment, and Warner Brothers and Warner Brothers Home
Entertainment. Additional keynote presenters included media and
entertainment analyst Jessica Reif Cohen of Merrill Lynch, and Mike
Vitelli, executive vice president of customer operations groups for Best
Buy.

Glowpoint has provided remote connectivity for entertainment-related
events in the past, such as Lionsgate Films' "Peaceful Warrior" premier.
During that event, theatergoers located in California, Arizona,
Washington, and Oregon were connected via a video call with actor Nick
Nolte and guest motivational speaker Tony Robbins for an interactive
community discussion of the film following its first commercial
screening.
