Whenever I get back from the Consumer Electronics Show, the one thing I always get asked is, “what was the coolest new technology you saw”? 

I can’t honestly say in 2010! This year during the Consumer Electronics Show, to make sure everything went smooth,  I mainly stationed myself at the Venetian Hotel and Casino, for our meetings with Cisco Eos customers, partners, and potential new customers and partners. I never made it to the show floor over at the convention center! 

While the buzz on the show floor seemed mainly about 3D displays and content, back in closed door meetings at the Venetian, I learned a lot about interesting topics -- like music licensing to major consumer brands, new digital video advertising technologies, and a lot of other things under NDA that I can’t talk about yet!

Our Cisco Media Solutions Group marketing director Scott Brown, already did a comprehensive post about our recent customer wins and our Cisco Eos partner program which I suggest you read if you haven’t already. Meanwhile, Dan Scheinman, SVP / GM of the Cisco Media Solutions Group, was able to share his thoughts about the latest customer wins and improvements to the Cisco Eos platform. 

Thankfully Dan made it really easy for you to hear what’s on his mind when it comes to the latest Cisco Eos, in this video here captured by the Cisco team on the ground in Las Vegas. 

Dan was also featured in a video update from CNBC. The update reviews the importance of social media initiatives at the Consumer Electronics Show:

I hope you all check back in with the Cisco DigMediaRev blog more in 2010. I know I captured more video with digital media thought leaders in 2009, that I still haven’t gotten around to editing for the blog here. I spent so much time preparing for the Consumer Electronics Show in late 2009, I rarely had time to get to it! I hope to roll out videos over the next few weeks -- we sponsored a few events this fall that were very interesting, including the Future of Film Summit, and the Digital Music Forum West -- there is plenty of video still from these events, laden with lessons from leaders in media and entertainment.
