Got questions for our panel?
We hope you tune in via Ustream and follow along on Twitter using the #TVnext hashtag. We’ll be real-time monitoring for questions and choosing our favorites to ask each of the 3 panels during their respective Q&A period.
If you have a burning question for any one of our 3 panels now, we’d love to see it! Simply:
- Determine a panel: TV gets social, TV gets connected, or TV gets portable
- Tweet your question to @hillholliday and be sure to use the #TVnext hashtag
- Tune in Friday starting at 9:30am (EST) via Ustream to see if we’ve used your question
Who knows? If we end up having an extra seat or two, we might just invite the person behind our favorite question to join us in-person at our Boston offices for the event.



Looks like an incredible event! I’ll definitely be attending via UStream!
