LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AEG Digital Media, the leading provider of complete webcast management and media services for live streaming events and online video, was selected for the second consecutive year to provide live streaming and encoding services for the keynote addresses at the Adobe® MAX 2011 Conference. MAX is Adobe’s annual global conference for forward-thinking designers, developers and business leaders. Ben Rolling, Vice President of Development for AEGDM, will also be a featured speaker at the event.
Held at the Los Angeles Convention Center and AEGDM’s Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE facility, Adobe MAX will run from Oct. 1-5, 2011. The live stream will be available at max.adobe.com beginning Monday, Oct. 3, 2011.
Thanks to AEGDM’s turnkey video distribution services, remote viewers can experience the excitement of MAX 2011’s keynote addresses via the live stream, where they can join Adobe executives, product experts and special guests as they focus on present and future technologies, time-saving techniques and inspiring work created by the best in the industry.
At MAX, Adobe will utilize a number of special media players created by AEGDM to show off Adobe’s latest innovations. These players provide for a variety of platforms and facilitate the best viewing experience possible.
As a feature speaker, AEGDM’s Rolling will take the stage with MTV Networks’ Rob Roskin in a session entitled, “MTV Networks: Behind the Scenes on World-Class Broadcast Events.” This session will address what it takes to produce world-class broadcast events like the MTV Video Music Awards, E3, American Idol, the GRAMMYs and Adobe MAX itself – all using Adobe technology.
“Being able to help facilitate and participate in a show that has such a devoted, creative following and promotes innovation across a variety of verticals is a rare opportunity,” said Rolling. “In addition, being able to share critical insights learned in our studios at an event with such a massive audience reflects the impact AEGDM has been able to make in online video, which was made possible by the Adobe technology we use daily.”
