 Rick Friedman
During the 90's Mr Friedman pioneered advanced software technology through his many magazines, journals, books, expos and conferences. Founding SIGS Publications in his basement with just a thousand dollars, it grew to become one of the fastest growing businesses in the nation in the mid-late 90's, with offices in the UK, Germany, France and Australia. SIGS became a thought-leader company for some 200,000 programmers in over 100 countries. After successfully selling SIGS in 1999, Mr. Friedman turned his attention to a new emerging technology, digital video and visual effects. Soon his NY and LA based Digital Video Shows became "the" industry event and he was able to acquire in 2003, Hollywood's venerable filmmaker trade show, ShowBiz Expo (formerly owned by Variety ) Over 20,000 filmmakers and 250 sponsors - including Avid, Apple, Panavision, Panasonic, Sony, Canon and Kodak - supported his shows in NY, LA, and Chicago.
