HONG KONG, Apr 24, 2016 - (ACN Newswire) - CASBAA, Asia's largest
non-profit media association serving the multi-channel audio-visual
content creation and distribution industry, today announced the
venue and dates for its upcoming 2016 Convention.
"We are delighted to announce that this year's 22nd annual CASBAA
Convention will be held in Macau at Studio City, from 07-10
November 2016, said CASBAA CEO Christopher Slaughter. "It will be
the first time CASBAA has ever held an event in Macau, and we are
thrilled to be able to bring the region's pay-TV industry together
to experience all that this exciting enclave has to offer."
CASBAA Board of Directors Chairman Sompan Charumilinda of True
Visions echoed those sentiments, adding, "The Board has
overwhelmingly endorsed the move to Macau, as part of the
Association's ongoing efforts to keep our annual Convention fresh
and invigorating. We are confident delegates, speakers, and
sponsors will find that the new venue and location will both
contribute to another excellent CASBAA Convention. Furthermore,
Studio City provides us with a bigger footprint for the Convention
than we've ever experienced, which will offer many advantages for
networking functions and private meeting rooms that our delegates
are sure to enjoy."
"The CASBAA Convention has always been a great opportunity for
senior executives from across the region and around the world to
come together, strategically timed to be the most important
industry event in the fourth quarter of the year," said Co-Board
Member Responsible for Convention Todd Miller, CEO of Celestial
Tiger Entertainment. "This year, by choosing Macau's Studio City,
we're adding a certain 'show-biz' quality to the event."
Property President of Studio City JD Clayton said, "We're very
delighted to welcome CASBAA to Macau for the very first time. As a
Hollywood-inspired and cinematically-themed integrated resort,
Studio City is definitely the perfect venue for the CASBAA
Convention. We look forward to collaborating with CASBAA to create
a successful event this year and to showcase the unrivaled
excitement of Studio City, Asia's Entertainment Capital, to the
participating delegates, in addition to our TV studio facility for
production-oriented attendees."
The move is just one of many innovations for the annual industry
gathering. "This year, we are making a concerted effort to ensure
that all the links in the value chain are present at the
Convention," said Co-Board Member Responsible for Convention Amit
Malhotra, VP & GM Studio Entertainment at The Walt Disney
Company. "In particular, we're working together to bring a critical
mass of operators from across the region to Macau."
The CASBAA Convention will feature two full days of conference
plenary sessions, keynote speakers, panel discussions, workshops,
networking opportunities, and social activities. Topics will
include best business practices, emerging market trends,
technological developments, new programming strategies and
offerings, and the broadcast regulatory landscape in the region. In
addition, the Convention will also feature CASBAA's annual Policy
Roundtable and Executive Roundtable. Both Roundtable events are
invitation-only, closed-door forums, dedicated to in-depth
discussions among select groups of industry stakeholders.
"With a host of new market entrants, new business models, and
ongoing disruption and technological innovation, the industry is
embracing change at a deep level," said Slaughter. "The Convention
will present a wide array of eminent speakers and panelists to
explore various aspects of change at this critical juncture in our
industry's history."
