What will the future of television look like? A panel of television industry judges and audience members will find out during the second annual Interactive TV Pitch competition Tuesday, Jan. 23, 2001, at NATPE's - the alliance of media content professionals - 38th annual conference and exhibition. The conference will take place from Jan. 22 to 25 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The event, sponsored by Microsoft® TV, is modeled after NATPE's "Pitch Me!" event. Fifteen contestants each will have 60 seconds to pitch their ideas to a panel of distinguished industry decision-makers and two minutes to answer a few tough questions. The best pitch could be the next great interactive television concept, and Microsoft TV and NATPE will help the contest winner meet the right people to possibly make the concept a reality. Co-emceeing the event for the first time will be the husband-and-wife team of actress Tracey Ullman and TV producer Allan McKeown.
