PARIS--(Business Wire)--
Gary Wang, founder and CEO of Tudou, China's leading video sharing
platform, will deliver a keynote at MIPCOM 2008. The address will be
given on Thursday 16 October within the framework of a day of debate
dedicated to the convergence between TV, video sharing online
communities and video games. The 24th edition of MIPCOM runs 13-17
October at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes.

   Tudou, often referred to as both the YouTube and the Hulu of
China, currently delivers over 100 million videos daily to more than
10 million visitors(a). CEO Gary Wang will present MIPCOM participants
with the details and dynamics at the heart of this activity in a
country that now has more than 250 million web users. As young Chinese
"netizens" are increasingly favouring their computers over their TVs
as a source of video entertainment, Gary Wang will look at the
development and growth of this market in China, the implications for
the movie and audiovisual industries, and will reveal his vision of
the future.
