"It is an honor to partner with the New York Latin Media and Entertainment Commission and to attract such prominent and caliber of speakers to our Conference, " said Carlos Vassallo, LatinVision CEO. "I believe our conference is an opportunity for New York to continue to attract industry and for all attendees to learn first hand how to tap into the fastest growing market in the nation." The 2008 Convergence conference seeks to share and enhance a broader knowledge of the industry's best practices to transform businesses and to better meet the demands of an increasingly mobile, fragmented, and elusive target audience. It will also showcase New York City's efforts to promote and support Latin culture, entertainment and media. The conference will be presented in the form of thematic panels with questions from the audience and moderated by experts in their respective fields. Panel discussion topics include 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; Case studies of new ventures and how they got started through financing and networking events; Best practices in training, recruiting and retaining the best talent in the areas of marketing, advertising, new media, PR and technology. This year's conference will include a three-hour networking business reception at NASDAQ, where industry, talent and investors will be able to connect in a more relaxed environment at the crossroads of the world. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Exhibition News :: home page |
