a fast-growing web-based global TV network and streaming
video service provider, announced a joint effort
to produce the fourth in a series of annual web-based
worldwide town meeting video webcasts for the webcasting
industry. Dubbed the "State of the
Industry in Webcasting 2005", the

industry sectors in a forum that features important

discuss subjects such as On-line Rich Media Publishing
and Management, Web Conferencing and its Integration
with Webcasting, Legal Issues for Webcasters and
more. The free event will be produced at TV Worldwide's
state-of-the-art Internet TV studios in Chantilly,
Va, near Washington Dulles Airport.

streaming video conference will be able to post
questions to the panel and participate in Q&A
via e-mail, providing a fully interactive forum
for education, training, and sharing of information.

Executive Director and Dave Gardy, IWA President,
will host the event. "We're excited to again
be able to bring our industry together in a forum
that showcases the benefits of webcasting,"
stated Shively . "We've teamed with TV Worldwide
to webcast the event because of their vast expertise
in streaming successful interactive corporate events
via Internet TV. We plan to announce preparations

pleased to again work with our IWA membership, industry
press and potential new members on this exciting
