XML “DIY TV” is designed to assist everyone involved in traditional TV, and those creating its mutant forms, which are now emerging across the three screens, to achieve business success. XML Melbourne 2008 is your opportunity to assess your own conceptual ideas, business plans, and underlying technologies; and your chance to introduce yourself directly to some of the best people in the world driving the DIY TV transformations.
