The interminable U.S. presidential campaign season will come finally come to an end tomorrow night. For a full rundown of the best of the best coverage — enough to allow you to set up a multiscreen command center, head over to NewTeeVee.

Don’t let the ghouls today or the uncertainty of next Tuesday scare you from securing your ticket to NewTeeVee Live! Today is the very last day of our “late bird” special, so step right up and buy your ticket now.

Come meet the senior executives from ABC, FOX, Netflix, Hulu, Disney, Lucasfilm, Comcast, YouTube, Sling Media, Level 3, Microsoft, and more who are driving the decisions that affect the future of online video. Hear from the producers of hit shows “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “HEROES” as they discuss how online video is changing the art of storytelling.

We’ll also have the breakout video stars from online shows “Fred,” “The Guild,” “What the Buck,” “Boing Boing TV,” “Alive in Baghdad” and “Ill Doctrine” talking about how they are making a living on the web.

Hope to see you there!

The 2008 election and online video have had a lot of special moments together: The CNN-YouTube primary debates. Obama Girl. Will.i.am’s “Yes We Can.” Saturday Night Live’s “Fey-lin” skits. And even though those examples might lean to the left, online video isn’t just a liberal thing. Both the Obama and McCain campaigns have active YouTube accounts, and in September, the McCain account had nearly three times as many average views per video as its rival’s. And no fewer than nine outlets offered live online video of the presidential debates.

But those were simply viral videos and two-hour events coming straight from the official debate stream. For election night, the fun starts early and could continue all night. There will be red and blue states to call, voter fraud to police, polling lines to record, partisan parties to tune into, and pundits, pundits, pundits. For those who want more detail, perspective or partisanship than TV broadcasts offer — or for the election-obsessive looking to build a multi-platform election night command center — we’ve sniffed out a few of the election night options to choose from.

Have you seen the line-up for next month’s NewTeeVee Live conference? You might have heard that the CEOs of Hulu and Netflix are coming, and also the creator of CSI. True! But did you know that we’ve also got a guy who brags that he’s still actively funding digital media deals — including a new one just last week? That would be Richard Wolpert, managing director of The Mail Room Fund, an investment partnership of William Morris Agency, AT&T, Accel and Venrock.

Another highlight should be David Verklin, who’s making one of his first public appearances since being named the CEO of Canoe Ventures, the joint addressable advertising project of the nation’s largest cable companies. Talk about friends in high places.

We’ve also got Alex Withers, managing director of digital media for the USGA. His team put on the biggest single day of live-streaming sports that we know of this year, delivering more than 2 million streams to more than half a million concurrent users who tuned in to watch Tiger Woods’ down-to-the-wire playoff victory at the U.S. Open. And that was on a Monday! Continue »

While we’re close to finalizing our line-up of speakers and presentations for NewTeeVee Live, there is another way your company can get in front of conference participants: the NewTeeVee News session, where we will present a selection of the most interesting major announcements and product launches in the online video space. Will your company have significant video-related news in mid-November? Let us know!

Chosen companies can expect to present from a special morning segment on the main conference stage, have their announcements distributed to attending press, and see coverage of their news on NewTeeVee.com and GigaOM.com. We will be judging submissions based on relative newsworthiness, quality and variety.

Rest assured that we will keep your pending announcement completely confidential; even the names of those chosen won’t be publicly released beforehand. However, we do need as much information as you’re able to provide in order for us to make an informed decision. The deadline to apply is Oct. 24; presenters will be chosen by Oct. 29; the conference is Nov. 13. So please submit today!
