swissnex invites you to an evening discussion and cocktail reception around a hotly debated topic: Content Delivery and Digital Rights Management (DRM).

Two guest speakers from Switzerland, including the founder and CEO of Secure Digital Container – a market leader in DRM – will give you a glimpse of the innovative Swiss market in this field. This introduction follows a panel discussion about legal content delivery from a point of view encompassing how protection technology and standard formats contribute to an ultimate goal: to provide a healthy ecosystem for the mass market consumer to share his knowledge, ideas, thoughts, humor, music, words and art – all made possible through the Internet.
