Home Media Magazine presents High-Def 2.0, the one-day event that will serve as a preview of what’s in store for the high-definition disc market in 2008, the year the studios have targeted as breakout time for Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD.

Coming just weeks before the Consumer Electronics Show, the event will provide a sneak peek of studio announcements expected to be made during CES, along with an overview of plans for the coming years, from marquee titles headed to HD disc to advances in interactivity, technology and packaging.

High-Def 2.0 will include panel discussions, demonstrations, updates on hardware and software sales, exclusive market research, and presentations from the studios about what they have coming up in the fourth quarter.

Also on tap for High-Def 2.0 is the first-ever High-Def Disc Awards. A panel of critics will determine the best entries from each format, from the time the formats were launched, Blu-ray Disc in June 2006 and HD DVD in April 2006.

High-Def 2.0 is produced by Home Media Magazine in cooperation with the Entertainment Merchants Association and The Hollywood Reporter.
