Conference Overview
NEW YORK CITY -
The LMEC-LatinVision Media 2008 Convergence: The Future of Latin
Entertainment, Media and Technology Markets will be held on Wednesday, Oct.
15, 2008 at the New York Times –
Times Center - in New York City followed by a Business Networkng Event
at
NASDAQ.
The 2008
Convergence conference is the premier event for Latin Media, Entertainment,
and Technology CEOs and executives looking to grow their business and new
opportunities with Latin audiences and to reach the mainstream. This one-day
event brings the best minds in the Latin Media, Entertainment and Technology
markets and is presented by New York City’s Latin Media and Entertainment
Commission (LMEC) in partnership with LatinVision Media.
Mayor Michael
R. Bloomberg established the
LMEC
in 2003 to make New York the capital of Latin Media and Entertainment in the
world. The Commission is made up of leaders from the Latin and mainstream
media industry, community leaders from nonprofit and cultural sectors, and
leading executives from the financial, advertising and real estate sectors.
The conference
will be presented in the form of thematic panels with questions from the
audience and moderated by experts in their respective fields.
In addition, we
will highlight major companies such as Univision Communications, which
recently relocated its headquarters to New York City. Joe Uva, CEO of
Univision, the nation’s largest Spanish-language media conglomerate, will
talk about the company’s decision to relocate headquarters to NYC, its
competitive advantage, and how Univision is adjusting and changing its
business model to better suit the needs of the growing and elusive Hispanic
audience. Another example in the New Media space is Mio.tv, a discussion
with Manuel Garcia-Durán about launching the interactive media initiative in
NYC.
The 2008
Convergence: The Future of Latin Entertainment, Media and Technology Markets
will also feature:
• Effective
best practices to adopt new technologies by Latino media and entertainment
• Case studies by top media players in the so-called traditional space, and
how their outlets are adapting to the digital space
• Technologies
available for delivering information and entertainment via new channels
•
Efforts launched by both the private and public sector to create, promote
and support Latin American arts and culture
• Best practices in training,
recruiting and retaining the best talent in the areas of marketing,
advertising, new media, PR and technology
• Case studies of new ventures
and how they got started through financing
• Networking event
The 2008
Convergence conference seeks to share and enhance a broader knowledge of
industry’s best practices to transform businesses and to better meet the
demands of an increasingly mobile, fragmented, and elusive target audience.
It’ll also showcase New York City’s efforts to promote and support Latin
Culture, Entertainment and Media as well as to how businesses can benefit
and contribute to the future of Latin Media, Entertainment, and Technology.
The 2008
Convergence: The Future of Latin Entertainment, Media and Technology Markets
conference is presented by the Latin Media and Entertainment Commission in
partnership with LatinVision Media. The conference is sponsored by major
U.S. and international corporations.
This year’s
conference will include a three-hour networking business reception at
NASDAQ, where industry, talent and the new players will be able to
connect in a more relaxed environment at the crossroads of the world.
