The IAWTV, an independent nonprofit organization founded to promote and recognize excellence in original online programming, has assembled some of the top Web TV experts in the industry to share tips for creating, distributing, and monetizing content, including Tim Street, Vice President of Mobile Video at mDialog, Rob Barnett, Founder and CEO of MyDamnChannel.com, Art Chang, Founder and CEO of the Tipping Point Partners, and many more.

"IAWTV is at the center of the web television revolution and they are a great partner in helping us reach this community and provide quality content for Web TV and traditional TV producers crossing over to new media," said Rick Calvert, CEO and co-founder of BlogWorld & New Media Expo.

The keynote speaker for the Web TV track is the chairman and founding member of the IAWTV, Paul Kontonis. Paul has recently become the chief media evangelist of Outrigger Media, which represents some of the top brands and talent in online video. He has executive produced over 25 Web series and successful online branded entertainment for major outlets including Warner Bros, Armor All and IZOD.

IAWTV board member, Tim Street was instrumental in creating the Web TV track and will be on hand as a presenter and panel moderator. Tim is speaking on six panels, including one entitled Producing: Pitching Your Web Series on June 7th at 10:15 a.m. that will give attendees an insider's view of how a show pitch works.

As the media landscape evolves, BlogWorld recognizes that it's critical for entertainment professionals to stay informed. The Web TV track is designed to help attendees succeed in this fast-changing industry. The panels and talent for the Web TV track at BlogWorld represent some of the brightest minds in our industry.

"Web TV is just beginning to impact traditional television the same way blogs disrupted the traditional print industries of newspapers, magazines and books. Being the industry event for all new media, our community asked for more educational content focused on Web TV and more exhibitors providing products and services for Web TV producers," Calvert continued. "The explosive growth of Web TV producers coming to BlogWorld certainly contributed to our decision to change the name of the event making it inclusive to all digital content creators. The new name announcement will come during the keynote presentation at BlogWorld on Wednesday, June 6th at 5 p.m. EDT."
