[MPEGIF Discuss] 2nd annual Ben Waggoner Digital Compressionists party at NAB

[Ben Waggoner]

Everybody,
    The compressionists party we threw at NAB 2003 was a big hit, so we're
going to do it again this year.
    It'll be Wednesday, April 21st, 4:30-7:30 pm, at the Las Vegas Hilton
(attached to the Las Vegas Convention Center).
    This will be an informal drop-in event, with light snacks and beverages.
There's no vendor sponsorship or demos - just a chance to hang out with our
fellows in compression and talk about codecs, formats, tools, and everything
else under the sun.  Given the NAB buzz this year, I'm sure that HD and new
formats for consumer electronics will be big topics.  Last year was a pretty
even mix of users and vendors.
    All are welcome.  I do ask for a quick email to let me know if you think
you'll come and with how many guests, so I can keep track of how much food
and drink to bring in (and I'll then have your email address to send the
suite number).
