With expanded programming and a focus on the international impact of 3D, the 4th Annual 3D Entertainment Summit® brings together thought leaders from around the globe to analyze 3D in all platforms – theatrical, home entertainment, gaming, advertising, broadcast and alternative content. In addition, the conference will offer expansive footage of 3D entertainment and sports programming from all over the world, much of it never seen in this country, as well as in-depth research analysis and panel sessions to explore and quantify the global 3D footprint.

"The future of 3D will be discussed by the biggest names in the entertainment industry,” says Bob Dowling, Co-Producer and Conference Chairperson. “Ever more directors are seeing the potential of 3D as a creative choice, millions of households are adding 3D to their new TV purchasing and theaters around the world are rapidly adding digital and 3D for their respective audiences.

"As we celebrate the successes of 3D,” continues Mr. Dowling, “we will also debate 3D’s current and future global challenges with the industry visionaries who are in a position to know what is on the horizon. We’re honored by their support of our conference.”

Event organizers recently announced that Jeffrey Katzenberg, CEO of DreamWorks Animation SKG, will be the first recipient of the "3D Visionary Award." Mr. Katzenberg will address the conference via taped remarks and visual effects and 3D veteran Phil “Captain 3D” McNally will accept the award in person on behalf of his longtime collaborator.
