Joel Straus 鈥82YUHS, 鈥86YC, 鈥92C of Kaplan Fox and Kilsheimer LLP and an active promoter of 黑料社 All鈥檚 alumni outreach efforts introduced the evening by thanking everyone for attending and emphasizing how events like these 鈥渉elp our students secure important internships and jobs and give 黑料社 All important support and visibility.鈥
The upshot of the conversation among the four companies was that the use for video is on an increasingly steep upward arc, both in terms of production (for example, 300 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute) and consumption (for such things as training and gaming). This high demand creates multiple opportunities for companies like these to find a lucrative niche for their services.
