| In conjunction with conventions and conference organisers
and major convention facilities, WCN will offer hotel guests, attendees,
exhibitors and the convention facility a way to expand their reach
during the convention. Watchit Media currently presents its video
content to 21 hotels in the Las Vegas market and hopes that WCN will
be an exciting new way to add value to its hospitality customers and
to improve their guest's experience.
"Our customers are looking for creative ways to improve the
guest experience and generate more revenue," said Lavelle.
"We view each hotel as having the capacity to run a Watchit
private video network. The private video network of the future will
give the hotel the ability and flexibility to include its own advertising
and program content with highly profiled custom television programming
like WCN."
In addition to its private network convention coverage, Watchit
also announced the introduction of FINDIT, its fully indexed digital
convention floor plan and map guide. FINDIT provides convention
attendees with a new computerised tool to facilitate the process
of viewing exhibitor products and services, identifying those of
greatest interest and mapping the clearest path getting the most
out of the convention experience. FINDIT can be accessed by the
convention attendee via the Internet on their computer or PDA and
is also available on DVD.
"FINDIT represents the first demonstration of our ability
to take advantage of the convergence of Internet, video media and
wireless technology to improve the way things are done. And the
applications for this convergence are just beginning to be revealed,"
said Lavelle.
