The Return of the Sponsor: Programming Brand Integration Keeping production budgets afloat with the help of Corporate America.

Speakers, lineup, contributors and moderators include:

Adam Armus, Executive Producer, Heroes (NBC), talks about the role of Brand integration in Heroes and also how the internet and mobile have affected how the show is produced and how brands benefit from the extension, from the net and mobile handheld audience, long after the programmed has finished airing via broadcast.
