MILFORD, CT, February 2, 2009, -- Unicomm LLC, and Bob Dowling, Former Editor in Chief and Publisher of The Hollywood Reporter, announced today the date and location for the second annual 3D Entertainment SummitTM will be September 16-17, 2009 at the Universal City Hilton in Universal City, California.

In addition, the two-day summit will include a state-of-the-art 3D digital cinema system for special 3D studio sneak previews and full feature presentations.
“The 2008 3D Entertainment Summit was a tremendous success and we are forecasting an increase in attendees for 2009 as the 3D industry continues to grow at a steady pace,” said Bob Dowling. “With a large number of 3D films scheduled for 2009, the first ever 3D commercial that ran this past weekend and an episode of NBC’s ‘Chuck’ slated to run tonight, 3D has truly gone mainstream.
