EuroITV is the leading international conference for media related to  
video and television. EuroITV is attended by academia and
professionals from all over the world to discuss latest advances and  
research of media technology, HCI, media studies, and the
content creation community. In addition to previous years' topics of  
the conference, EuroITV 2010 offers new opportunities this year:

* INTERACTIVE CONTENT & ARTS TRACK
  EuroITV 2010 extends its tracks with a new track to explicitly  
attract the creative media production community dealing with
  interactive video, 3D cinema, TV program formats, film production,  
and consumers as content creators and contributors.

* VIDEO IN THE AGE OF WEB3.0.
  EuroITV 2010 faces the challenges of TV as changing environment and  
explicitly invites contributions dealing with
  user-generated content, video in social networking, mashup networks,  
IPTV, cross-media, broadcasting everywhere,
  3D cinema/3D IPTV/3D content, and video.

creators, application developers, and service designers
