It looked touch and go until the very last minutes.
Many other media conferences have simply thrown in the towel and cancelled.
We decided not to, and our blind faith (and deep anxiety) paid off as more than 250 delegates attended the DNA2009 conference in Brussels, Belgium

About the author
mrosenblum - For more than 20 years, Mr. Rosenblum has been on the cutting edge of the digital ‘videojournalist’ revolution. During this time, he has lead a drive for videoliteracy, and the complete rethinking of how television is made and controlled.
His work has included: The complete transitioning of The BBC's national network (UK) to a VJ-driven model, starting in 2002. The complete conversion of The Voice of America, the United State’s Government’s broadcasting agency, (and the largest broadcaster in the world), from short wave radio to television broadcasting and webcasting using the ‘VJ” paradigm (1998-present). The construction of NYT Television, a New York Times Company, and the largest producer of non-fiction television in the US. Rosenblum was both the founder and President of NYT TV, (all based on the “VJ” paradigm – 1996-1998). The President and Founder of Video News International, a global VJ-driven newsgathering company, with more than 100 journalists around the world. (1993-1996).
Do you have something to say?
So the industry spent a hep of money attending a conference about an idea that that is fatally flawed… no wonder tv management us leading us into bankruptcy
Well I hope they will actually do some real work after their fantasy junket.
