Hong Kong – CASBAA Convention 2013 is set to take place from October 21-24, 2013 at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong. The 20th edition will celebrate the continually evolving broadcasting industry with the theme “Change is ON THE AIR”.
Among the key differences to the convention is the expansion of actual conference sessions from two days to three days with more emphasis on discussion, networking and the exchange of information than in previous years. Plenary sessions will continue to anchor each day with keynote speakers. A new feature – three themed content “tracks”, will run concurrently with the plenary sessions each day, focusing on content, technology and marketing.
A host of additional features are added, including a Delegates Matching Tool (an online service to facilitate the coordination of meetings between attendees). Supporting the Convention this year are sponsors Discovery Networks Asia Pacific, MEASAT, Playboy Plus Entertainment Inc., Time Warner, Turner International Asia Pacific and TV5MONDE.
“We are looking to shake things up this year for the CASBAA Convention,” said Christopher Slaughter, CEO, CASBAA. “While the core values of CASBAA remain the same, to inform, represent and connect, we are looking at new and different ways to improve our biggest event of the year. With this year’s theme, not only are we recognizing that our industry is in a constant state of flux, but that CASBAA, too, is changing to meet the needs of our membership.”
