We are back from Vegas two conventions later, exhausted, having felt Elvis's bright light city lament that there should be more than the twenty-four hours in the day. Too much fun too little time!

After our whirlwind trip to CES, I returned to Vegas to attend the NATPE convention. This networking event hosted by the National Association of Television Program Executives for over forty years has historically revolved around traditional television syndication. However, in an era when video content can be accessed not only through broadcast and cable television, but on demand, through the internet, or by mobile phone, the idea of syndication now incorporates much much more.

The convention tag line of "Evolve & Prosper" set the tone for this year's gathering where the old studio guard mingled with cross-platform pioneers and panels delved into "The Devilish Details of Digital Distribution" while trying to answer the question of whether primetime still mattered. Although very few questions were actually answered no one denied the impact technology has had on the way we view television today. Sony, a company that has the benefit of being both a studio and a consumer electronic player, hopes to lead other studios towards the future when it suggests CES become the new NATPE. Either way, a geek girl like me was loving life as I wandered the floors of CES and NATPE learning all I could about tech and TV.
