It was also overshadowed by a chili dog I ate last week. Wow: 14
exhibitors. I believe there were more at this year's Tech Retreat.

HDTV Forum a Big Hit
By Ultimate AV Staff
September 06, 2004 - Overshadowed by the Athens Olympic Games and
the start of the Republican National Convention, the second annual
HDTV Forum 2004 was a resounding success. Held the last week of
August at the Westin Century Plaza in Los Angeles, the event was
completely sold out, according to organizing companies DisplaySearch

two audio/visual sponsors, and 15 media organizations-a diverse group

cable networks, content creators, government agencies, satellite and
cable providers, retailers, distributors, TV brands, TV OEMs,
panel/tube/engine manufacturers, and IC manufacturers.

agreed, although noted that consumers need more education about the

HDTV succeed.
The driving force for this success is and will be HD sports,
according to the first day's keynote speaker, Bryan Burns, vice
president of strategic business planning and development for ESPN HD.
