Presenters included Robert Friedman, president of New Line Television, Anna Home, chair of The World Summit on Television, Brown Johnson, senior vice president of Nick Jr. and Nickelodeon Media Works, Gary Niles, executive vice president of marketing for Galoob Toys, Jules Feiffer, senior fellow in the National Arts Journalism Program, Charles Rivkin, president and COO of The Jim Henson Company and Herb Scannell, president of Nickelodeon.
