ScreenPlays products, including magazine, portal and conferences, are produced by Broadband Information Resources, Inc. to serve the information and marketing needs of the new media and communications marketplace.
BIR’s first product, ScreenPlays Magazine, launched as a monthly print and electronic publication in January 2006. The ScreenPlays conference business was initiated in 2007 with three events – OnTarget advanced advertising and Cable IPTV symposiums in New York City and CableNext in Santa Clara, California. The latest conference series, Media Innovations Summit, kicked off in September 2010 at the Directors Guild of America in Hollywood. Check our Web site for information about the next MIS.
ScreenPlays Information Marketplace, our portal, is designed to provide an easy-to-navigate portfolio of in-depth stories, video interviews and technology demos. The portal also supports sophisticated messaging for advertisers based on microsites that dynamically display vendor messages in parallel with users’ access to stories and videos.
