  • Rafi Mamalian, West Coast Advertising Director at Blip.tv;

  • Claudia Cahill, EVP Corporate Development, at Medium, Levity Entertainment Group; and
  • Dean Logan, Director of Research and Development, Video Products, at comScore.

A couple of these folks (John and Brady), will also appear earlier in the day on a second digital panel, Of the Web, By the Web, For the Web, produced by the IAWTV. They will be joined by moderator and IAWTV Chair, Michael Wayne, the Co-Founder & CEO of DECA, and George Ruiz, Head of New Media/SVP Business Affairs, at International Creative Management.
