opportunities this year:

* INTERACTIVE CONTENT & ARTS TRACK
  EuroITV 2010 extends its tracks with a new track to explicitly attract the creative media production community dealing with 
  interactive video, 3D cinema, TV program formats, film production, and consumers as content creators and contributors.
