Taking place tomorrow in New York City is the annual Streaming Media East Conference and Exhibition. Organised by StreamingMedia.com, the site is dedicated to the business, technology, and content of streaming media. The event will see a selection of virtual reality (VR) focused panels taking place, and on Wednesday 11th May, Josh Courtney, Chairman and Executive Producer at SkyVR will be giving the keynote address.
